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.

This is a really good point.
We lived in Tampa for 17 years and enjoyed it.
But being retired there wasn't a lot to do.
Too many people and too much traffic and expensive.
I did NOT want to move south because I still don't like the
heat.
We are very happy with decision!
