I just can't imagine living in a place I hate.

I want to get in on the monthly frees.

Poster forgot to mention "Above all don't drink the water" It not even a secret > The Villages puts something in the water that makes "almost" everyone living here thinking its the best place on earth, why didn't we move here sooner. I've heard its something called H20 and they offer you a free bottle if you visit one of the many information centers. Don't even think about accepting one and trying it. Believe me it turns out to be very expensive, but most agree worth it.

So could you not get in or did you have to leave. You won’t win your argument here. Car is not needed as all shopping can be done by cart or online. Fees are great, people are great and there is plenty to do if you don’t golf. Life is too short to be so negative. And if you want to see traffic go up to Boston or New York.

I think it’s ironic you complain about traffic coming from Long Island.

I moved here because my parents lived here and i wanted to be close to them physically to help them out. My dad passed away and my mother is at a local nursing home so i continue to live here. I love my home but other than that, I am in complete agreement with what the initial writer posted. I dream of the day I can get out of here. The posters who say this place is not an HOA crack me up. Call it amenity fees or HOA fees it’s the same thing. You have rules and regulations everywhere. For all practical purposes, it’s an HOA. And selling your home and making money. That’s funny, too. Maybe at the present time because home prices have gone up. But the focus here is in selling new homes and not your older home. However, i am happy for the people who love it here. Good for you! You found your spot. Someday i hope to find mine, too.

I have never been on top of any of my neighbor’s homes. I have been on top of mine a few times to look at the roofing and vents.

Since the 80's, who uses, cares, or could even find a viable Shopping Mall? Most Malls, if they still exist, are junk flea market-type vendors, shoe stores, vape shops/tattoo parlors, and a strange food court. However, if a shopping Mall and affordability is what you desire: Check out the 55+ mobile home park "Lakes at Leesburg". It is right next door to the run-down Lake Square Mall and you'll find everything air-conditioned and affordable. You can even ride your Golf cart to Home Depot. Also, Steak and Shake is right across the street with the value meal list of "under $5 meal deals".

Soooo, there are nursing homes all over the world you can put your mother in. Yet you love living in this "miserable" place or you would have already left. I love it here. No better place comes close to TV...
