My friends are a hoot and feel like family to me. All of the things that I like to do are up here without all of the traffic found in other areas. Mulberry is great for pickleball and there are two sports pools within five minutes of my house. No bond, mature trees, wonderful neighbors, light traffic--it's perfect for me. Most of my friends I have met through clubs anyway, so they live all over The Villages. For me, the new sections down south just don't feel like The Villages, but everyone is different and you need to live where you feel happy.
I appreciate your appreciation for older folks. I have a tender heart.
I am looking to figure out the best Village for me to buy my first home.
From your experiences living among the older folks in your village, what activities do they like to do?
I'm am an artist and love natural scenery and down to earth people. Which location has this?
I want to be where I have interactions with neighbors and not renters and Airbnb.
Thank you for posting,
Andi
