Welcome! You are going to love The Villages. We bought our house in Hawkins (also in the new area) and had never been to The Villages before. Our only regret we didn’t do it years earlier. We moved from Oregon. We love the west coast but the weather wasn’t allowing us to be active all year. Now, we have more activities than time for them. The great thing about living below 44, is it’s a much younger crowd. There is plenty of wildlife. People share their house camera photos online and there are bears, bobcats, and even a Florida panther in the area. It’s also not as congested as the older areas. Wide open spaces with much larger green belts down here. They are starting construction on the new square (called Eastport) and it will be a New England fishing village from what I’m hearing. It will have a man made lake a mile long that the square sits on, to be used for the dragon boat racing. Give this new area 5 years and it will be absolutely gorgeous. Enjoy!
