Congrats & welcome! We just moved here in March 2019 & have been enjoying the active lifestyle. There are TONS of activities to participate in & stay active, physically & mentally.

To do:
1. Continue using & reading this site as there will be lots of valuable tips here.

2 Join the Next Door app. We belong to the DeSoto neighborhood (part of Fenney area) & there's lots of relevant info on the site; also great participation & info sharing. I think Next Door somehow restricts communication based on which neighborhood you live in, so it might not be possible to join till you live in TV.

3. One of our biggest, time-consuming issues after moving here was finding another health plan, then finding the dentists & docs that accept the new plan. We were with Kaiser Permanente HMO in VA so we had to start from scratch. Wished we had started that earlier so it would not have interfered with our enjoyment of the new location, home. You can start that search now, before moving.

4. The Villages sales team were all terrific; even assisted with the moving van selection & helped get our house in VA sold. Ann Duke was our agent here, absolutely TERRIFIC in all aspects of searching for the right home (spec home v build it home v pre-owned) & seeing us through till we settled in and afterward.

Best wishes!!
