I am 59 moved here in late September bought two homes and will live here full time. I love everything about the Villages. My fiancé' and I believe in social distancing but we still get out daily to walk, run or bike. We love talking to neighbors we probably would not have met so easily had it not been for this virus. We stay a good distance more than 6' when we chat. Three weeks ago when I saw what was going on in Italy I said Hon, we need food. We eat out almost every night. I am a Costco lover and had two loyalty checks from them to cash so off we went to Orlando. We bought a lot but I can't tell you how fast I wanted to come back to this beautiful bubble. I am really tired of people complaining about the Villages. If you do not like it leave and find someplace better to spend the rest of your life. This is paradise and I hope to spend it with like minded folks. By the way the second home is a rental and we let a nice couple from Wisconsin out of their contract for April. We sent every dime back and we have no intention of renting it again until the Virus is over to protect our neighbors. I hope other landlords will heed this advice especially from folk wanting to come from NJ, NY and CT. I am a Jersey Girl and I tell my friends stay home. Florida is CLOSED.
