Unfortunately the Villages Euphoria for us wore off in about 5 years.
Continually expanding, overcrowded, supply and demand , boisterous rude drunken people , rising Political intensity, senior scams, cranky self centered old men, cranky self absorbed old women, rising crime in that area, sub-standerd Healthcare, exorbitant dental care.... just to name a few of the current red flag reality checks.
We often invited our friends and family from Wisconsin to come down to TV on several occasions and even offered to pay thier Air fare believe it or not.
Answer always...No Way, not for us !
Alot of folks perceived our giddiness over TV as " Bragging Rights " and they could of cared less about Florida, much less The Villages lifestyle.
We ultimately decided not to disclose to strangers that we lived there, we just state that we are from the Central Fl area if anyone asks us now.
It is so sad but true, we had some wonderful times there ...15 years ago....
