Default Some Suggestions

Thought I would provide some suggestions if you are going to move to the Villages.
1. Location, location location is critical. Best to rent a home for a couple of months and get the feel of the area you are considering. It is close to banks, stores, key roads, etc. Is it not near railroad track.
2. Is it new or a rebuy home.
3. Never sign up for vendor or contractor without first calling Seniors vs Crime for history of Co..
4. Caeful in using medical facilities. Consider driving the 2.5 hours to Jacksonville to Mayo Clinic for top notch medical support
5. Drive as though the other driver is either senile of drunk.
6. Remember the POA is a watch dog of the Villages GOv't and the other organization is an arm of the Developer. Does not mean that either is better than the other. Just who they are working for.
7. If your smoke alarm starts to go off because the battery is old call the fire department and they will come to your house and replace the batteries,
8. Always remember you are in the villages which has thousands of golf carts. Be more careful in the car.
9. Don't gripe about the gates. They are there to remind people of lots of golf carts, take picture of in and out cars for
protection, etc etc.
10.Remember you are lucky to have such a great place to live and respect the honor to be here.
Who can add more observations??
