Smile what's wrong with the villages

Very little really, I have found that we can find fault with anything. After 7 years I have to say getting up in the morning having people on golf carts wave good morning makes life more enjoyable. Town squares guarantee a place to go with friends, and guests. Can you tell me any place in the United States that a manufacted home brings the prices that the villages does. You buy the whole package,3 town sqs 90 miles of cart trails more golf than most can do in a year. Anyone can live here, If there was ever a place that is nondescrimatory this is it.too put it simply this place makes the aches and pains of getting older tolerable. Just an opinion.

Observer,
You just made my day. Finally, someone who is just happy with this place and everything in it. Nice to have someone post that is content and happy with no complaints. Thank you.

This is a Disneyland resort for seniors. My only concern is getting a phone call telling me I have to check out!

I have many days that I look around and wonder how did I get so lucky to live here and be retired.. the Villages lives up to the hype .... at least it does to me.

I so agree. We just put up our tree and I am as happy as when I was five.

No. Happier.

I agree!!
We have only been here a few months, but we truly feel like we are living at a resort!

Our neighbors are friendly and happy to be here too.

We consider ourselves very blessed to be able to spend this chapter of our lives here. The Villages is so beautiful with so much to do, so reasonably priced, if someone is unhappy with their life here, its not the place that's the problem!

Some of my favorite parts of TV are the golf courses. Not necessarily because of golf per se, but because of their beauty and the wildlife. How lucky am
I to be able to see this any day I wish?

Had my cart break down in Liberty Park. A fellow named Rich got me going again. Just a typical Villager story.

In my eyes there is absolutely nothing wrong with TV. Our son is in town and he said it's too bad all of America can't be like this. He didn't understand why we talked about this place for 5 years. Now that he's here he gets it.
