Re: Other nearby communities vs. The Villages
My mother lived in Ocala Palms. She and six other families moved to Hot Springs Village in Arkansas ( the one that the guy from "Chips" hawks on tv infomercials ) The couple that they bought their home from in Arkansas was selling to move to the Villages. This was just months after we had bought here in TV.
Well they hated the total lack of things to do or places to eat or shop. It is just the opposite of TV. They decided to move back to central fla. I tried my hardest to get them into TV but they decided on Stonecrest due to the fact that they could get a large half acre lot and the home was about 25k cheaper than a comparable in TV. That was this past october. After 3 months they put their home on the market. They hated their neighbors and all the yard work they had (watering, cutting, and gophers). Oddly enough the people that they bought from in Stonecrest were ALSO moving to TV. House has now been on the market for 7 months with 0 offers.
I am sure that many people love the other communities. I am sure I probably would have been one of them if I hadnt seen TV first.
