The other communities mentioned have strong points no doubt but the big thing other than the obvious attractions to The Villages that we have going for us is we own our property, I like that. It changes a Mobile Home to Real Estate. You can get a Reverse Mortgage down the line if needed here but not at the other communities. I don’t like the idea of registration being needed on my home like the other places. The others are cheaper going in but the monthly cost is very high. Check out the specific’s and see if that way works for you.

Insurance wise, no problems here. Since your only insuring the home and not the property your cost will run between $700 and $2000 depending on your coverage and deductibles. When you factor in the tax’s and the insurance cost our opinion is it works.

The roughest part for us was before and during and after Irma. We are prepared better now in every way. Good luck to you OP. It’s been good for us so far other than the Electrical Outage after the storm. All is forgiven as long as it doesn’t happen for the exact reason again. Duke Energy is our power company and did their best afterwards I believe.
