Maybe it’s just me, but I differentiate — people (like me) who own property and pay taxes and pay all of our fees are “seasonal residents” (actually, many of us come and go multiple times throughout the year); “snowbirds” are those who rent and have no personal ownership stake in our communities (it is their vacation resort). The Villages is HOME — actually, I am a Florida resident and go back north to visit a home there. There are many like me.
