It is really dependent on what you are looking for. We did the same thing about 5 years ago and looked at a lot of places (both 55+ and regular communities). We came to the Villages on a whim and loved the place. The first week end we were here we just looked at each other with our mouths open. We couldn’t believe the size and scope of activities. After our first visit here we compared everything to the Villages. Nothing else compared.
I would have been happy with a smaller community with a golf course, but my wife wanted activities and she got that. The Villages is a 55+ community on steroids, it is incredible what is offered, IMHO. But some are turned off by the size and the developer. That is fine as there are plenty other places to look at and live in Florida.
