We have been here in The Villages for about 3 years, it has been wonderful. Glad you put those goofy STD rumors to rest. Most people we have met are hard working retired professionals that are glad to have the resources and good fortune at this point in their lives to be able to have a good time in their golden years.

Been here over 12 years and it is not what it seems. This is a high density development and gets overbearing in the winter months with the snow birds. Traffic congestion, long lines, crowded facilities, hard to get tee times, goofy Community Development Districts system (CDDs) that favors the developer-family, increasing fees and taxes and an aging population with decreasing physical and mental abilities (yeah no one is getting younger here) making it a challenging environment. One last thought, ever see anything get better once it got bigger and more popular? Buyer beware. You have been warned.

Robster- I feel so baldly for you. You shouldn’t live anywhere that makes you feel this way. I moved to The Villages- Fenney in June 2020 and LOVE LOVE LOVE it more every day. This AMAZING community is far better, safer, more affordable, more exciting, more social, more beautiful than any other planned community- 55+ or not. I feel so unbelievably BLESSED to be here- if you don’t feel the same, you need to find somewhere that makes you feel grateful to be a resident!!

I looked at The Villages in the early 90s and could not get a straight answer on how they intended to control its growth. The original concept seemed interesting, but exactly what I was concerned about happened -- It got way too big too fast. And now its way too crowded with both people and traffic. Plus as planned there is absolutely No Diversity whatsoever which for me was a probable deal breaker from the start.

i enjoyed this video. Since a good friend of mine moved The Villages 10 years ago, I have visited her several times there. In just those 10 years, The Villages has grown significantly in size. The developer has a lot of vacant land to still build on, and the homes will continue to be built for several years. As my friend said, if you are considering moving to a 55+ community, ask questions & do your homework. She loves living in The Villages, but she said it's not for everyone, and like every community it has it's pluses and minuses.

Diggin the ladies that have discovered freedom from car dependency, through owning a golf cart. Catrike (Big Cat Human Powered Vehicles) in Orlando, should design a practical electric assist pedal powered golf cart. And get rid of the ones you don't have to pedal. Then they'd have much healthier aging populace in the Villages. Unless of course their too lazy to pedal and will just go back to their stink tins (cars). But why would they pass up on a healthier lifestyle? If boomers would have listened to me at any time in last 40 years, the villages would be over run with bikes and all seniors would be as sexy as your truly.

@@katrinstake You're completely side-stepping what I'm talking about. The Villages is spectacular. Like Disney, its a creation from the brilliant mind of one man. The biggest message he wanted to spread about The Villages is the fact that its that "American Dream" that's very very real...but never talked about with younger people anymore. Its popular because the people there love their country and love our system. What you were doing at 9:18 was spewing hate that was evident with ONE misleading clip. You are posing as a nice realtor fraudulently patronizing KZbin viewers who may have not caught what you are, a fraud and you need to go away. Please, take your globalist hate back to the toxic waste dump you know as New York...and leave us alone. You are not welcome there. (Some of your voiceover, too, was very telling of who you are.)

Why risk it, when a clear windshield would have sufficed. Similar (maybe a stretch) to Dunkin Donuts not using the morbidly obese in their ads. Not the message they want to send.
