No Luck. just hard work. Lived 3 hours south of Villages. Had 3 Hurricane's on beach and wanted to move. Came to Villages on a drive, liked it..Spent two years looking at Real Estate on Internet and rented for 2 months one year and 1 month another and found the location we wanted. Watched for a home in that area and one came on market and we made an offer. It was accepted and we purchased. Have been here between 12 and 13 years and could not be happier. As they say, LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATIOIN. We continue to believe we have one of the best locations in The Villages and could not imagine ever moving. It is a sizable investment and only research and being patient will result in a solid decision.
