Hello Barbara! I'm Dee. I live in Maryland but we're moving to The Villages in September. Our house goes on the market in two weeks. Like you, I'm new to the site too but everyone has been just wonderful, answering my questions and reaching out to welcome me. If you're looking for nice people who understand people of my age (not sure how old you are) then this is the place for you. I'm going down for 2 weeks in May to find a place to rent. We're going to do that for a year until we decide whether or not to buy. Best of luck to you and I hope you enjoy The Villages.
