There are advantages to the area.
1). easy access to grocery stores. Two Publix, a Winn Dixie, Walmart, and Aldi all within easy golf cart access. The publix and winn dixie are less than 2 miles from my house.
2). Other shopping. Lowes, ACE hardware, Belk, Target, and numerous other stores are very close.
3). quieter streets. You don't pass through the historic area to go somewhere else. This makes it easier to drive around in a golf cart as well as run, bike or walk on the roads.
4). Two adult pools and a family pool within 2 miles. (also a premium pool at Orange Blossom Golf Course
5). Plenty of golf. Two executive and one Championship just in the historic area and more nearby.
6). Healthcare is close (even if you don't like the Villages Hospital.

I could go on.

Indeed! And in addition to all of that good stuff no one I know here is trying to compete with anyone else's lifestyle - there's no keeping up with the Jones' whoever they may be! We're friendly, helpful, accepting, funny and fun loving! Sure we probably have our share of grouches and folks who think they "own" chairs at their favorite pool - but they help us appreciate our other neighbors as well as what we have here! And the best way to meet us is to invite us to a bring your own chair/beverage to a driveway party as soon as you are almost settled - masks required!
