I checked out a few other retirement places in Florida but none of them offered as many activities as The Villages. I also spent five days touring retirement communities in Arizona in the Phoenix area but discovered that most of them have about 60 to 70% snowbirds and they close down most indoor activities from the end of April until the end of October as not enough residents to make it worth paying for instructors then. You wouldn't be able to do outdoor activities in Phoenix in the summer other than in a swimming pool so that would have left me with next to nothing to do from the end of April until the end of October. If you want year-round activities and lots of choices 4 both physical and mental activities and a variety of home sizes and prices The Villages is the best place to go. If you're not that active there are many other beautiful retirement places in Florida but they just don't have enough residents to offer the variety of activities we have here.
