1. Gulf vacations (our favorites) are not the same as living in a place. What is there to do once you've walked the beach and soaked up some needed rays that have to be limited to avoid skin cancer. Go out for supper? That gets old. Sit in a house or condo watching t.v.? Boring.
2. When you actually live here for more than 5-6 months a year, you look forward to the cooler months, especially if you're golfers. And then it's not that cool and it doesn't last long.
3. There are distinct reasons why Florida is the #1 state from which people move to The Villages.
Two days ago in the Lake Sumter Landing Sales Office, on the "Welcome New Villagers" Board listing the closings on new/used home purchases between 12/28 and 12/31, there were 60 couples/persons listed with their states. Twenty-eight (28) of them were from Florida.
Look at the board in the coming weeks, and daily there will be 30-40 closings listed.
Getting a place in TV is a complete no-brainer.
