10 Important things...
1. Best to get south facing lanai. We are on a retention pond. Its like living in a zoo with daily entertainment.
2. Take the cart diving class. Its once a month at Colony Cottage rec center.
3. Get seat belts for your cart.
4. Learn gps driving before you get here. You will need gps as everything looks the same at every turn. I like Waze for car nav. Get the paid cart gps app for your phone. Cart navigation app Villages-GPS.
5. Learn about the medical choices BEFORE you get here. I recommend a Medicap policy rather that Advantage. Know that doctors are hard to find. Do a lot of research about medical care here before you arrive.
6. Leave most furniture behind, but be aware it might take months to get new furniture. Like sleeping on an air bed? Yep we did it for several months.
7. Forget your xxx favorite food. Its not here.
8. Buy a home that doesn't NOT need remodeling. Yes you will pay more, but worth the extra cost and way less stress.
9. Buy a low maintenance landscape home. Paid landscape care is not the same here as other areas. Ask your neighbors who they use.
10. Its very different here. Some good, some bad. Just roll with a the differences and enjoy life in the bubble!
Cheers
Bob
