My interest in TV was initiated by two good friends who had just bought a place. I was still working and retirement was a distant blimp on a very distant horizon.

12 years later, DW and I have finally made the plunge, and have a house under contract. We are currently renting, and this our third rental winter. We've been coming here visiting or renting for more than a decade. We are beyond excited.
I've learned a lot on these boards.
Thanks, everyone, and Happy New Year!
Thank you for posting your experience. I became interested in The Villages when my friend first went house hunting almost 10 years ago, and I tagged along with her. The Villages has been on my radar screen/short list ever since, and I have returned to visit The Villages almost every year since 2012. I can now count on one hand (hopefully) the number of years until I can retire and move to The Villages. Congratulations, happy moving/settling in and enjoy your new home.
