We lived in the Palm Desert area for 8 years -- great mountains (which I miss) and beautiful weather in the Winter. Really hot in the summer. Golf is expensive at all of the courses. Dell Webb is beautiful but boring. You never see anyone out on the streets except if they were heading for the golf course. Clubhouse also not active. We were at Disney for a wedding and decided to drive to the Dell Webb here and on the way we passed the Villages. We thought it was a shopping center and thought that it was strange as far from Orlando. Came for a look see, took the tour bus and went back to Calif. and sold. People here are alive!!! :joke:
Green Valley in Ariz. has several golf courses and small areas of communities and has a small shopping center and several clubhouses. Lifestyle is not the same as everthing is scattered from the top of a mountain to the low point. We have some friends there from the Midwest. They hike because of the cost of the golf! We looked at many places and the Villages are A++++++ 040 LIFESTYLE IS SUPER!!
