Welcome! We moved here in 2019 and love it here. We traveled the country in an RV for 18 months after retirement and checked out lots of retirement communities on our way before deciding this was the place for us. We rented a Villa for six months, purchased while we were renting and used the remaining rental term to do some updating before moving into our home. Renting is a great idea because of the sheer size of this place. You Tube is also a wealth of information just make sure to follow the people who actually live here like The Villages Newcomers and there are at least 3-4 more. TV is not for everyone but most people know if they like the lifestyle here fairly quickly. Lastly, we were surprised at the number of negative comments on some of these forums but after living here four years we’ve learned these folks are a small minority and we just ignore them. Most don’t even live here. Good luck on your journey!
