We visited Sun City Center several years ago — was not impressed. I played golf a few weeks ago with a guy who recently moved from there to The Villages. His only comment about Sun City Center was they didn’t have the golf or activities like The Villages. BTW, he was an excellent golfer. Prior to retirement we visited several communities (primarily in Florida) and also in Arizona. We liked several retirement communities in Arizona but had family ties in Florida. OP, if I was really curious about the Tampa area of Florida, I would spend a few days there to see what Sun City Center has now to offer. If looking for medical care, perhaps Ocala (particularly Top of The World). I have a friend who spent a day at TOTW and he and his wife were very impressed with the community. They are concerned about “medical” here in The Villages. “shrug” - Ocala isn’t that far but it is closer to Shands in Gainesville. Perhaps this “ramble” will help.
