Are you in one of those above 55 communities??
I remember Boca Raton was LITTERED with them when we lived down there.
:toofunny: @ older than dirt
Yep I am. The only exception is that this one is the granddaddy of them all. With already about 70,000 residents and reaching around 110,00 in the next 5 years it is a huge, gated community. We are building more but already have 8 championship golf courses from Palmer, Lopez et al and another 20+ executive nines that we play free for the rest of our lives. We have two downtown squares and are soon building a third where we have free music entertainment every night of the year. Our shops, hospital, churches, movies, stores, restaurants, bars etc are classics. Nothing is allowed here except the very best. Of course the homes here are appropriately expensive, a good $100,00 to $150,00 more than comparable neighboring homes simply because of the lifestyle we enjoy. We have none of the congestion of South Florida, we have none of their tax burden, none of their weather problems and we have much better logistics and road connections. People are leaving the South to come here and coming down from the North in DROVES. Our home values are appreciating off the charts. You have never seen or heard of anything comparable to this anywhere in the world. Just take a look at any golf match on TV and one of the sponsors will be the Villages. I don't kiss their *ss but God this is heaven for a retiree.
