The Villages in Florida: Are The Rumors Really True?
The Villages in Florida is the fastest-selling master-planned community in the US and the largest retirement community in the world. It is a census-designated place in the center of Florida of a 55-plus community, that is its own bubble. Over the years we have heard some crazy lifestyle rumors about this place: Seniors gone crazy, politically extremists, and STDs. Is it all true?
So we will go into The Villages, get to know the place, and unbox it little by little to uncover fact from fiction.
Whether you are interested in The Villages to move to or you are just curious to know more about this retirement community, this video will likely be very interesting to you.

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!!
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.

Sawgrass isn’t a new square. It’s several restaurants with a stage area. The new square is EastPort which is currently being built.
I know people up there and they like the setup. Although its not my cup of tea. Most of my "Village people" are from the NYC area and hate yard work and are accustomed to be surrounded by people. I tell them for what they paid they could have bought a nice home in my area of Charlotte county.
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.

*its pluses
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.
Speaking of STDS, I visited The Villages and told my daughter in law, that's the type of place I'd like to live at. She told me about the reports on that STDS. I told her, anyone can catch that anyplace if you're going to be hanging around with everyone in the neighborhood.... I have friends who live there and love it. I'd love to if home prices were in my favor... To everyone, stay safe, healthy and Blessed! 🙏

Interesting discussion. I admire The Villages from a marketing standpoint. It gives most American seniors what they want and need in terms of safety, amenities, social life, and services. Not a bad thing. Towns and cities can learn from the Villages. But it's not for me. I don't like Florida weather from March 1 to November 30.

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.

I heard the villages have a lot of racists and I saw one of those golf carts with a Confederate sticker so I suppose it's possibly true.
Might suggest editing the politically oriented, anachronistic, picture s on a golf cart. No point in alienating the majority of your viewership by promoting the past. Poor marketing judgement.

@@katrinreal Katrin, I can't help but think that a picture that included a confederate flag and a Trump sticker side by side may not be the marketing message you seek. 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.

I can't help but think you were subliminally sticking in anti-President Trump messaging at 9:18. I'm in The Villages often...looking for investments. What you were insinuating at 9:18 is sickening. Go away.

I don't know what is sickening being honest? I did my research and have spoken to plenty of people in the Villages. Some people will love it there, others not so much. That goes for any place in the world.

@@katrinreal 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 KZread 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.) Stop.

There’s at least two or three clubs that Asian Americans have created. There’s an Asian American who also gives free tai chi lessons by the lake. There at least two possibly a lot more clubs that I don’t know of that are for black Americans that they create it themselves I believe one’s called Black or African-American gentleman but I forgot the exact name.

I do love the classic car show. It's not all bad. I'm just partial to the ocean and my old lady likes to sun herself. Me: I'm a whale and she is 30 years younger. I love her and worship the ground she lays on. Golfing and drinking is not her thing. Mine either.
