You will feel very welcome in TV. It is obvious that you are interesting and have a great attitude. The Villages is all about friendliness and attitude, not about age.

The bungalow homes are very easy to negotiate with wheel chairs and walkers. Most places do not have stairs. Golf carts are very easy to use and to navigate around for shopping and for medical appointments.

I think Talk of The Villages Website can be a bit misleading as there are many younger newbies and wannabees. Don't get me wrong, that is wonderful. But you will find that most of the existing communities have residents of many ages. On my street we have several families in their 80s.

YOU ARE NOT TOO OLD TO RELOCATE TO TV!!
