My wife and I lived in North Carolina for 20 years, loved it and planned to retire in either North or South Carolina (with South having somewhat better tax benefits for retirees). Then, on the recommendation of my wife's cousin, we stopped in at The Villages for a look around. We couldn't believe what we saw - it just seemed too good to be true (though getting around at first was kind of overwhelming). We stopped again a year later and it was everything we remembered (though a little easier to get around this time). We came back a year later and bought a house. Having lived here going on 5 years now, I have to admit that the place isn't 100% perfect (no place is), but it's pretty darned close. We absolutely love living here and hope you do, too.
