Some of the responses on this site were right on like not knowing the area 1st before buying. When new in TV, you have no clue where are all your clubs are, pickleball/tennis groups play, shopping to match your lifestyle, new or used home, pond view/golf course view, pool, and many more. I know friends that move every 2 years to live off this income in retirement.
There are also many people leaving the older sections of the villages to move to the younger crowd/new homes south of 44, and now south of meggison.
When traveling in the north parts of the villages, the houses look small and dated, and I can see why people move around in the villages.i know people that sold their designer homes south of 44 and bought in Richmond and Newell to come out with cash after selling their original homes.
Even staying for a month in the villages doesn’t give you enough time to figure out all you can do here and where do you want to live. If you don’t mind traveling to go to places, then you can live anywhere in the villages. If you want new, you have no choice: you are going to meggison or further south.
If you want new, you can buy one of the tear-down single-wides for sale in the Historic section, and have a new home built there to your specifications, by the builder of your choice.
