My pet peeves are the cigar smoke wafting from the outdoor areas of restaurants in the town squares and the unpredictability of drivers of both cars and golf carts. I've never had to watch out for other drivers more vigilantly than I have to when driving in the Villages. I also find it annoying when people tell you to go back where you came from if you criticize anything about this place. Some people want to believe it's all sunshine, rainbows and unicorns.😂 If you point out any flaw or something that could be improved, it's as if you've attacked them personally. I'm not sure why that is. Insecurities perhaps?Nevertheless, despite the flaws, I think all in all it's a pretty nice place to live.

We moved from Vegas, that is busy compared to here. My son,s restaurant’s in Ohio are busy 1-1.5 hour wait without reservation. I am amazed that you didn’t noticed the cement structure of the dance floor in the town squares. Drivers here are a whole lot better than Vegas where you have more of a foreign presence with different ways to drive. So for every negative you have, I can share the sane experience else where.

We just fled to The Free State of Florida from the Glorious Peoples State of Taxifornia. We lived in our Class A RV in Leesburg for 2 months while looking for our forever home. The Villages was a hard pass. We love nature and space. The Villages have people stacked up like cordwood unless you are a millionaire. Our new home in Highland Lakes is a nature preserve. Its about 100 feet our nearest rear neighbor.

I completely agree with you about the NO sidewalks!!! In some subdivisions or villages is a safety problem and a great danger to walkers !!!!! Where I live there’s a very sharp bend and if you’re walking around it to get to other places to walk many of the drivers will drive very fast around the bend so you always have to watch out be ready to jump out of the way off the road into somebody’s grassy yard.

If you are a little handy you can add a beeper to the turn signals on your cart to nag you to turn them off. Just do some searching on how to do it since it may vary a bit with different brands. I got a pack of beepers for about $7 off amazon. Another trick is to change the mirrors so they have flashing lights you can see that should get your attention plus they help make your cart more visible when turning. Those cost anywhere from about $60-$120 depending and take a little more wiring to install. As for it getting a little cool in the winter here that is true. I have not had to shovel snow or scape front on my windshield so I'm still happy.

I don’t live here yet. But I heard people outside the villages can go to your entertainment and shops. Maybe they are part of the reason it gets so overcrowded during the winters. The snowbirds do that all over Florida. Have been living in Florida f 34 years and snowbirds have there seasons here. Streets stores restaurants hotels in south fl and Tampa areas where I live are so over crowded in the snowbird season. You get used to it.

Many problems stem from residents, visitors or guests who are not aware of or ignore the rules/common practices. The multi-modal is pretty wide in most places to accomadate both bikes and carts. We don't feel ebikes are dangerous but you do need to be smart about how/where you store your batteries and using the wrong charger.

The good thing about houses closer together is there is less yard to mow, and if people don’t have children anymore, you don’t really need the yard to play in and it cost more property tax. I believe if you have more yard.

If you follow the deed restrictions, you have nothing to worry about. Deed restrictions help maintain the look of the neighborhood. The anonymous complaint system prevents harassment and retaliation if there's a valid complaint. I don't think too many people are driving around just looking for stuff to report In other words, the two old "biddies" in a golf car with a clipboard don't really exist.
