Villas, FL Is Not A Place To Waste Your Time With 1.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 28, 2018) Villas, Florida is one of those places that I'm sad to say has absolutely nothing to recommend it. After living in Villas for three years I couldn't take it anymore. I packed up my family and moved away and haven't looked back since. Definitely not one of the best areas in Florid ...Read More a to try to exist in. The crime activity there is pretty much nonstop. The schools might as well close down because they aren't helping the kids do anything except learn how to skip school and drop out as soon as they're old enough. There are no jobs to be had. The neighborhoods and the homes in them are in such a state of disrepair its heartbreaking to see. I wouldn't even recommend driving through this place, let alone stopping there for any reason.

When I live there I did enjoy some of the nearby attractions such as Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve, Family Music Time where I would take my kids to learn to play different musical instruments, Sky Zone Trampoline Park, and the Murder Mystery Dinner Train was pretty entertaining as well. The best advice I can give anyone is to bypass Villas, Florida. Read Less
