I think I prefer a preowned house. Have had new houses in the past and think I would prefer a well established neighborhood with mature landscaping. I think it will come down to location and finding a house we're happy with.

It sounds like there is just no easy answer without spending time and exploring. Even then it sounds like the first choice might not be the last choice. I absolutely hate moving so I hope this will be the last house we ever have to buy.

As far as the people of the Villages.. That is what got us interested in the first place. We love to cruise and over the years have met many people on the ship that live in the Villages and they all seemed really nice and had almost 100% positive things to say about where they live.

Thanks again for the great ideas and advice.

We must be the same age or very close in age. The age range of most Villagers seems to go from early 50's to 90+. If you check out the weekly Villages recreation news on line, there is a club for every interest. Also, quite a few people have posted videos on You Tube about The Villages. I think when people move to The Villages they age backwards, kind of like what happened to Brad Pitt in the movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
