In reply to the discussion: Anyone here live in "The Villages"? [View all]a kennedy
(29,753 posts)50. Have friends that live there now.......they love it, not sure of their political
persuasion, they both worked for the State of WI when they lived here. The villages do have condo's people can rent for a time to see if you'd like to move there. Lots and lots of regulations is correct.....and my friend is busy all week long with stuff to do, dance classes, pickle ball, golf all kinds of yoga and exercise classes. Everyone has golf carts to get around. Some are pretty fancy, http://www.wesh.com/article/photos-golf-carts-of-the-villages/4328479 and these: http://www.cbsnews.com/pictures/extreme-golf-carts/.
