Leisure Village - 7 Lakes is a bargain in my opinion. Spacious 2 BR Condos can be purchased for just over $100k. Common fees are quite low. The community is built around a nice 18 hole executive golf course (2 par 4's per side, the rest are par 3). Their is a very large club house with la big heated pool, pool room, health club, crafts rooms, meeting rooms, and common area. Har-Tru and fast tennis courts, bocce, car-washing area are just some of the extras. Something is going on every second here - from bridge to communal dinners. Each neighborhood has its own heated pools. Just about everybody has their own customized golf cart.

The people are nice - heh, they're midwesterners!

My parents have lived here for 25 years and loved every second of it. The biggest pluses are the low costs and high activity levels. The only drawback is the place has a pretty high average age - so there are lots of rules and lots of crusty old people. With any luck maybe I'll get to be one of them!

7 Lakes is a great place for someone looking for the unpretentious and good vallue. If you want high status, lots of greek statues and fountains, and conspicuous consumption, my suggestion is that you look elsewhere in Lee County. There are more than enough of those places to go around. To each his own!
