The Villages Florida
Small Dog Sez if I may paraphrase the statement on the POA web page many things are done quite well here but there are a few things that aren't and whether or not you wish to work at addressing them is a newbies choice :dontknow:
one thing that blindsided us was the shear size and scope of the place
this means that since you are new you will have to work at being included in things of your intrest .... many neighborhoods have social clubs that help getting to know folks ..... in the newer neighbor hoods it might be a bit easier since everyone just got there and is in the same boat .... Of course that is a two edged sword were it not for the large size somethings could not be done as well as they are and together with the large size it often means large crowds at popular affairs : ... also some problems not as common to small towns ... America's home town is not a small town 8)
then there is the hassle of finding medical people of your personal approval
........ again depending on your needs( happens any time you change locations) .... and don't discard all your winter wear .. we do get brief visits from old man winter
