Default Brilliant

The engineering is BRILLIANT! What’s even more exciting is with every phase of development they pay attention to what minor issues they made have had, and fix it in newer phases. Down South development is impressive to say the least!

If the OP is going to throw a flame like that, he/she should expect to get burned a little. My guess is the OP must be referring to the bridges. After all, isn't that what trolls live under?

I’m not one who drinks the villages kool aid but the villages is one of the best engineered developments around. It does have a few issues but all in all it’s great engineering

Default Great designs and engineering

As an degreed engineer with 50+ years experience, and a PE license, I think the planning, engineering and design is great. They adapt to an ever changing environment, with the wants and needs of the population, and they react accordingly. They may not be perfect, but they get an A+ in my book.

In my opinion the engineering is exceptional. In the benefit of hindsight, I think the northern sections of the villages would have been designed differently had the eventual growth/size of the population been anticipated. The Villagers is the first ever retirement community of this scale, so it was somewhat of a learn as you go process. This can easily be observed by the different designs/layout as you go from north to south. This is most evident by the roads, golf cart traveling options, tunnels/bridges, and recreation facilities. That being said, we have no major problem with the design/engineering of the north as evident by the fact we bought a wonderful home north of 466.

I love watching GoldWingNut's videos and I'm amazed at the planning and engineering that goes into building the newer sections, YEAR's before the first house is sold...
