Comming from the Virginia side of DC my story is similar to villages07. After living in my Va home for 26 years it is time to move. We have been trying to sell for 1 1/2 years finally found a buyer and now trying to clear contingencies to settle next month. WE live in a beautiful development with a lake, golf course , tennis courts etc but to be honest with you, most if not all of our closest friends have all moved away. The families in our immediate cul-de-sac are all very nice but they are a new generation with children ages 4-9. WE did that and now with retirement being a new venture for us we want to start fresh meeting new people and try different things. DONT LOOK BACK....look forward. I dont think we would grow if we stayed put....besides we can visit anyone we want and are extending our new florida home to friends and family who want to visit......if we are home!!
