It took us about three months from our date of possession in 2007 to the chill/enjoyment stage.
Looking back, I realize we could have done the settling in part at a more subdued pace.
We just wanted to get it behind us.
From an empty home to furnished with pictures hung and birdcage built and golf cart purchased.
You will want to proceed at a pace that allows you enjoyment combined with a sense of creating a new lifestyle.
Welcome to The Villages to you and your dog. You will love it here.
Hope to see you at the dog park!
