"Retirement neighborhood. Very friendly neighborhood. Lot of walking trails and nature for walking and biking."

"Walking trails and Edna’s on the green , golfing , near shopping , health care , many restaurants, swimming pools, golf cart roads "

"Many crabby people put up fake fertilizer signs to keep dogs off the curb. Many bad dog owners let their dogs bark at the squares."

"This article pertains to men age 65 Best Retirement Community in America! There’s almost no crime, no graffiti, no trash, no falling apart roads, no run down properties, and yes there are children 22% of the population is allowed to be under the age of 25 & more if needed to take care of a parent, etc (after all it is a Retirement Community). The biggest activity is Bowling (no it’s not Swinging), there are 60 Golf Courses (free to play), largest Golf Cart Community in the the world with over 65,000 Golf Carts, 104 pools (1/3 are for kids), over 3600 Clubs (all activities are free some may include a small fee for supplies or personal instruction), 3 Town Squares with free Entertainment & Dancing nightly 5 till 9 with some of the best bands in the industry. Plantings changed quarterly and every inch of the landscape manicured to perfection. That’s what people come to the Villages for from around the world (most are actually from Florida that live here year round) and what makes it the fastest growing city in America. "

"We talk to all the neighbors while we go for walks in the neighborhood. People have signs with their names in the front yard. All homes are very well maintained. "

"We need more leaders, less political divide and more community gatherings without alcohol. Neighbors tend to be cliquish; hard to break into. I like the amenities to meet friends."
