Our home is on a corner lot with grass and a view of the 17th tee of one of the golf courses. We're far enough away from the tee box so we don't hear golfers who hit a lousy shot complain. Our HOA fees here include all landscaping services and internet. There's 24/7 guarded gates so it's very secure. Our new home is better constructed too than the villa we owned in The Villages.

Some will say it's too quiet for their lifestyle. I was a hell raiser until age 32. Today I don't need all the action some are looking for. I can still golf or play pickle ball if I want.

What we do find interesting is that as we drive our golf cart thru new homes under construction or about to be occupied we find quite a few people who are moving from The Villages to OTOW.
