You can buy a retirement home anywhere but you can't find the Villages lifestyle anywhere else. We looked for years at other places and I liked California for the climate. All you will find is a lovely community, high cost, tennis, golf and swimming with one, perhaps two country clubs. That's about it. You won't find all the community clubs the town centers, etc.

The Villages sells a lifestyle and most places are selling you a house.

I also believe the cost of living here is a bit better than in California. Housing is out of this world in many So. California locations. Del Webb builds a beautiful home but does not put into the community the thought and lifestyle that the Villages does.

Wish you much luck but even this California lover found the Villages a much better solution for us.
