Your timing depends on your concern about the virus. Florida is not controlling the amplification of the virus like many of our home states. If you are high risk and your state is putting a damper on this maiming virus, slow your move. Many activities are on hold here, although outside activities like golf, biking, walking, etc. are allowed. Most residents mask if inside or distance. We can’t really get out and meet friends with common interests unless they are those stated. We are ballroom dancers and it has been difficult for us.
Keep in mind that Florida is a tourist state so reinfection from travelers is expected, we have no safe vaccine presently that offers long term protection, and that health care here is middle of the road.
If you do buy in The Villages, find out which grocery stores and pharmacies are nearby for you to use. We are in the new area near Fenney and still don’t have the shopping area that was promised. TV is starting it now. Many of the residents have been here for years. The significance .. stores just north of is have been under stocked frequently. We now shop much further away than planned and travel by car. The golf cart paths between the old and newer sections have yet to be made.
