Beep! Beep! Parking at the Villages
By Danica Potts, Assistant Property Manager
Surprisingly, as many people as we have onsite visiting, picking up, dropping off, staying, going…there’s always a place to rest your Adult Sized Go Cart, your Chariot, your Vehicle, your Automobile, your Whip, or your horseless carriage.
With all of the parking spaces onsite, it’s best to be mindful of WHERE you are parking and HOW you are parking. We understand that sometimes we want to park closest to where we are going, but when that is not so doable, consider parking a bit farther. You can pretty much find a spot anywhere onsite and get to where you want to go in 3 minutes or less, which is definitely way less than the 10+ minutes it will take to circle around and around….AND around, to find that close spot.
CVC is contracted with A&A Towing to help with parking issues and concerns. A&A circles the site making sure vehicles are parked correctly. Parking correctly means not blocking any entrances or exits, having a visible handicapped placard when parked in a handicapped assigned spaces (blue), and not parking in any emergency vehicle only areas (red).
The state has its vehicle registration requirements and so does CVC. Residents must register their vehicles with the Property Management office, and to properly do so, one must supply current driver’s license, registration, and insurance. In return, staff will give a yellow placard with an ID number, which identifies your vehicle. It should be placed on your rearview mirror. In the event an individual needs to be contacted, we also ask for your most current phone number. The process is the same for staff. Guests, simply need to check in with the security booth and once requested details are provided, a guest pass is issued and should be placed visibly on the windshield. That’s it… CVC Parking 101 – Beep Beep!
