I was happy in Ohio and I am happy here. I think that the business that runs The Villages does a good job. You need to remember that you will see a LOT of older people and they are mostly conservative and traditional people, who organized their lives so that they could afford to live here. You can buy a home from about 100K to about two million, and everyone gets exactly the same amenities. The golf courses and pools and Country Clubs and Recreation Centers belong to EVERYBODY. You won't get to vote to decide what kinds of flowers are planted or whether The Villages will keep expanding. There are alligators, sinkholes, snakes, palm rats and sometimes Hurricanes.
The lots are small and the population is largely Republican. Most of them have guns. Golf is not what you are used to, but there is a lot of it and the nine hole courses cost about four dollars to play if you drive your cart.
I love it here. LOVE it here.
