Living in or near The Villages, Florida is by far the best active retirement destination in Florida. The Villages is not a gated retirement community, but rather contigous special purpose municipalities called Community Development Districts (CDDs). The Villages is the largest active lifestyle community in the world. While CDDs are unincorporated political subdivisions, they are municipalities nonetheless.
The Villages can overwhelm first-time visitors causing them to make a quick emotional home purchase without seriously considering how they will use the abundance of recreation and commercial amenities, the overall cost and utility of their purchase, and the available nearby, more economical, alternatives that may provide them just what they expect in retirement. Do you really need or want to pay for over 100 recreation centers. Remember The Villages Championship Golf and Country Clubs are open to the public.
Did you know that the average Villager doesn't play golf, use any of the recreation facilities, or any of the social clubs? Then, what is it about The Villages, Florida that appeals to the average Villager? It's the abundance of commercial amenities right at you fingertips. The very same amenities are available to the residents of nearby Stonecrest and a host of other nearby gate-secured, active adult communities.
Stonecrest is a gate-secured, active adult community contiguous with The Villages. Stonecrest offers its 55 and older residents a Championship Golf and Country Club, and an array of other recreation and social amenities similar to The Villages, just not as many of them. Moreover, there are no Bond or CDD Maintenance Assessments.
Stonecrest residents can access and enjoy The Villages championship golf and country clubs, hospitals and medical facilities, the abundance of entertainment, shopping, and dining venues, and much more. Moreover, Stonecresters can live the lifestyle of the average Villager in a comparable home in Stonecrest for substantial less money.
