I have lived at Villages for over 7 years. I have seen a lot of changes, ups and downs. However, I keep signing my lease every year because I LOVE living here.
Our current manager Christy and our head maintenance man Ricardo are AMAZING! I recently had a huge flood in my apartment that was caused by another company that came to install a washing machine. The Villages staff handled the issue like pro's they were fast organized and caring.
Christy is really fair, nice and welcoming. Ricardo does his very best and is very knowledgeable. The area is awesome and my kids have done well in the local schools.
I have not had any major issues with hearing neighbors. People generally clean up their dog poop. Also, it's pretty very quite.
I hope this review helps you in your search.
Have a great day!
