The Villages: America's Largest Retirement Community
The Villages is a census-designated place and master-planned age-restricted community that sprawls across parts of Sumter, Lake, and Marion counties in central Florida. With a population exceeding 51,000 in the CDP and considerably more in the wider development area, it is the largest retirement community in the United States. Harold Schwartz began developing the area in the 1980s as an extension of a small mobile home park, and his family's holding company has since built a self-contained community with over 80,000 homes, dozens of golf courses, recreation centers, town squares, and commercial districts.
Golf carts are the defining transportation mode. The community maintains over 100 miles of golf cart paths, and residents use carts not just for golf but for grocery shopping, dining, medical appointments, and social visits. Multiple town squares -- including Spanish Springs, Lake Sumter Landing, and Brownwood Paddock Square -- host nightly live entertainment and serve as social gathering points. Each square has a different architectural theme. The community operates its own newspaper, radio station, and television channel.
The Villages has drawn attention for its rapid growth, its political influence in central Florida elections, and its unusual demographic concentration. The median age is well over 65, and the community is overwhelmingly white and affluent relative to surrounding areas. Healthcare infrastructure has expanded to meet demand, with multiple hospitals and specialist clinics within or adjacent to the development. UF Health The Villages Hospital opened in 2013, and additional medical facilities continue to be built.
