@ Tapirgal - These have all been built less than 10 years ago...and they house businesses - mostly, I think, the huge furniture store that takes up several blocks.
Lovely ... every time I click into one of your blogs I am impressed with the cleanliness of the area ... everything looks so perfect, its very 'Stepford' isnt it?
@ Daryl - In a way, it's "Stepford." It is kept up very well...and The Villages has a lot of restrictions on what can be built and how it must be built. Homeowners are also bound by certain restrictions, e.g. painting your house, planting trees or shrubs, digging up shrubs and trees, decorations, mailboxes, etc.
Those are some of the reasons we did not buy there...having lived in a condo situation for years, we wanted out from under "restrictions."
The Villages is one of the fastest-growing retirement communities in the United States.
Located in Central Florida, about an hour's drive northwest of Orlando, the Villages is now home to some 150,000 residents, many of which travel the area via golf cart.
There are now three "home towns" in The Villages, Spanish Springs, Lake Sumter Landing and Brownwood. Music and dancing is provided nightly in the town squares of each of the home towns.
The Villages is a beautiful community and we hope you enjoy viewing our photos showcasing its many charms.

Thanks Jacob:)
it looks so nice & neat there!
@ JM and Tricia - "They" work very hard at keeping the place neat and clean...part of its charm...
Now those shapes I can relate to. Are these older buildings, or have they been built recently in an historic style?

It really looks like a model. A perfect model. A bit too perfect maybe...
I love that they built them in the older style!
