I've been researching online for best places to retire for over two years. I looked at areas that didn't have snow or that had milder winters- also places that were rated best places to retire. Florida rates really high for places to retire. As far as cost of living, I couldn't find any place that was as affordable as Florida. At least if you're looking for communities that have a lot of recreation, clubs, etc. Arizona, Texas, etc. were more expensive if the community had anything close to what The Villages offers. So, I think I am making a fairly educated decision. Overall, I couldn't find anything comparable to The Villages at least for what I was looking for.
