    This is by far the best video about The Villages, what’s funny is that it’s almost as if we’re programmed to say the same things regarding the number of clubs, golf courses etc…but truth be told, we’re constantly being updated on events going on around The Villages and we don’t always stay inside the bubble. The towns in central Florida have so much to offer and that’s what draws people from all over to move down here.👍👍

    Terry, this was so enjoyable and fun to watch. This place is a one-of-a-kind community. Every person you came across was so helpful and kind. It’s definitely a Disney World for seniors. It’s fun to see everybody so active, which is a big plus for your health. You are so funny to watch that I was in stitches LOL This is definitely going to be added to one of my favorite videos, which by the way, is a very long list because most of your videos are my favorites ha ha 😂 I also found the history on Mother Roy’s boarding house very interesting. Thank you for exploring and taking us into the communities and showing us all the different styles. That was absolutely fantastic! Bravo 👏

    I’ve been going to the Villages twice a year for the last 20+ years to visit my folks on their birthdays…. What a blast, sooo much to do and see, the growth since they started that place is unbelievable. Lots of stories about the place and I think the guy from Indiana hit the nail on the head. I think a lot of those stories were started to discredit the place because of it’s explosive growth into the surrounding towns. The Cost of living is on the upper side (lots of money there) and it’s not cheap to live there. It’s beautifully maintained no matter where you go in the Villages. Nothing else like it, that I’m aware of!!!

      I have to agree with you, in what you had said, The Cost of Living is on the UPPER Side and it's NOT cheap living there.
      In my region, we have 4 cities , that's has all the activities ( over 400 plus ) , each city is different.
      ALL citizens, in each town , are taking care of and it's ALL FREE. Gyms, Theaters, basketball courts, Tennis courts , Soccer fields,etccc.
      This is for the age of 6 months old - 100+ year old. We don't advertise anything, never mention where it's at .
      If you have family or friends, they can do the activities, but there are restrictions.
      This place keeps me busy, right now I have a doctors appt other than that I would be doing more activities.
      I work out daily at the gym, after that I'll go swimming, go to class for kickboxing. Like I said we have indoors and outdoors activities.

    I stumbled into The Villages back when a news article on TV was demonstrating a Trump Rally on golf cars. Next thing I know, I researched it and have been a frequent visitor, as I am not quite 'Villages-age' ready yet. My takeaway? The Villages is not a place where seniors go to die. It's a place where they go to LIVE their golden years happily.

      The electric, water, sewer, and the amenities fees are paid to The Villages on a monthly bases.

    Here's what mystifies me. The Villages has a large contingent of conservative Republican homeowners who claim to value personal liberty and freedom, yet they will live in a place that tells you that you cannot have a FENCE in your yard, or chachkis on your lawn (Does the chacki restriction include copper wind scupltures? Those are really big up here in Missouri), and requires approval for what color you can paint your house? Why would someone tolerate that? I'm a centrist Democrat, and I would never tolerate it. I landscape in in some of the most exclusive areas in Kasnas City... homes that are over 1 million dollars, and they have far less deed restrictions. Yet one thing that never seems to be required in deed restrictions that I feel NEEDS to be there, is that I think all utility boxes should be masked with some type of plant material. I think there is nothing tackier that seeing utility boxes in the yard.

    I have watched two other mini-docs on the Villages. And one couple said the rumors were true. The wife said when you have a lot of disposable income, almost no responsibility, and cheap alcohol daily, things are going to happen. All those news stories on swingers at the Villages were not isolated or exaggerated.

      Yes you would fit in here in The Villages. I’m 100% disabled combat Vietnam veteran, mostly with PTSD. Am a widower and now single the VA agreed that this place would be great for me I was at The Villages in 2011-12 renting finally made it my home in 2022. This place has everything to do with anyone. I’m improving on my social life here, lost my wife in 2010. We have a big singles club here you could join. You should do a life style visit here. And your power chair would be great I’ve seem a lot with there power chairs going on the golf cart tails trails they it would keep you out of the traffic areas.
