My parents retired to Sun City Center, FL (south of Tampa) in 1974. It was a very early Del Webb community, play golf, tennis, etc and drive around in golf carts. They loved it and my family loved it, and I always wanted to retire to a place like that. When he built out Del Webb left and turned the community over to the residents (about 20-25 years ago) and it went down hill from there. The Villages is Sun City on steroids, Mitch better amenities and more well thought out. Thankfully the family has enhanced and furthered our founders’ vision.
