Are you uneasy about moving to The Villages, or simply uneasy about moving at all?
Is there some other retirement community that you would be more comfortable about moving to, or are you simply apprehensive about the unknown elements of moving to any new place?
During my working career I was transferred four times, and taking transfers was considered a necessary element of job advancement, so coming to The Villages was no big deal for me, particularly since I grew up in Florida and was comfortable about the weather, the geography, the wild life, and other things that seem to concern some people coming here.
I frankly cannot conceive of a retirement community with more activities for "active seniors" and opportunities to make new friends.
I tested the waters before jumping in by an initial one week rental. Then a one month rental. By then I grew to love the place. You might want to consider a long term rental to see how well you feel you fit in.
In any case ---- Enjoy!
