I bought in the Villages over 10 years ago and would come down from Long Island NY when I could (a week or so at a time) when I was off from school. I finally retired this past June. We decided to sell our house and move here permanently. My two daughters are still in Long Island, and it's very easy to hop on a quick flight to visit. My son is in ND so, I don't regularly get to see my grandkids anyway. They love coming here, going to the pool, doing camp villages, golf cart rides, etc. I wasn't a fan of going into the city anymore back home. Taxes were crazy, isn't pretty like it is here. I like having all these amenities here. I do have to say, I miss my friends at work, but talk to them often. When I go home to visit, I usually go to Procter the ACTs and SATs. Did that last week. was in school the whole week for a few hours! It was wonderful, and then I remember how I hated getting up and ready at 5:45 am! Yes, some of the food places are better than here and I still haven't changed over to doctors here, which I know I have too eventually.
