Well, I only told you our story here.
I said nothing but good things about the Villages, I would NOT want to hurt the kind welcome I have received here.

I think it is great that we live in a country so free that we can choose where we want to live, and I'm glad we are all different and have different options.

I think the Villages is great, and I think I could be very happy there. As I said, our Florida decision was one of the only times in my life I made a quick decision without checking all the possibilities. I'm very happy with our purchase, and now I know that there are hundreds of nice communities out there to choose from......all a bit different, and with all of them, very few poor choices.

The Villages is a one of a kind place.....I think I would like it there. I would encourage anyone thinking of moving to Florida to do the research and see all the options you have. Decide where you want to be, (Central, South, the Panhandle, Coastal, etc), then look at all of your options. There are a lot of choices, and very few bad ones....you will know when it feels right.

We did not do that, but lucked out anyway. We are all really blessed.
