We are residents of The Villages Golf & Country Club. We own a house here and have lived here for 25 years. We were getting all the benefits here. We have a restaurant, a bistro, and everything. So, if I don't want to cook, I don't have to cook. We can go out and eat. What I like best about the place is that it is absolutely gorgeous, and they maintain it very well. The restaurant and the bistros are very good. It has excellent quality and very high-quality food. They have a lot of events here that people organize. There are tons of clubs one can belong to, and lots and lots of clubs. Every kind of club: music, dance, and an Italian club. You've got everything, so it's great. The staff they are super, super, super duper. The food is excellent. I'm a vegetarian, so I don't really know about non-veg food, but from what I hear from my neighbors and friends, it's amazing. They love the chefs, and they love going to the bistro and the restaurant. Some of the facilities show their age, like the fitness center. There are five pools, and they could use a little fixing up for today's world. Those are the things that need a facelift. It has a high HOA, and you can't stay here unless you can afford the HOA.

The facilities at The Villages were excellent. They have condominiums for sale, work out facilities, pool, and golf course. The staff was very nice. I was very impressed by them. The place looked excellent. They do have a restaurant in case you want to eat out.

My dad lives in The Villages. He moved in there 10 or 12 years ago because he plays golf. It's closer to Fairfield where they used to live -- which is an hour and a half drive -- and it's closer to my brother and I here in Palo Alto. There are a lot of people in there that are getting assisted living, but it's a retirement community with condos and several different villages that are somewhat managed separately. There's a wide range of prices. If it goes on and up the hill, it's more expensive because the view gets better.

The Villages was only independent living. It was very nice. It had golf courses, tennis courts, swimming pools. It was large and well laid out. It was a gated community. I thought the staff and food were average.
