We are in Ohio and as soon as our house sells, we will be on the road to the Villages half of our stuff is packed already. In fact as I get older the more I hate the cold and winter months. We already have our house picked out to buy in the old section, as long as it is not sold before we sell our home. The one thing I think about is that you can be as active all year long compared to about 7 months in Ohio. That's got to be good for your health in our later years. Over the years there have been several friends have moved down to the area here.
Does your husband play golf or tennis, or enjoy fishing or boating, there is plenty of that here in the villages.
If you are unsure about your husband liking the area, it would probably be a good idea to rent for a year or so, then maybe he can establish some friendships first, that may help him ease into the community better. Also the villages has entertainment on one way or another almost every evening that is very popular. Also many fine dining areas and lounges.
