One other point that was touched on in one post is how much do you want to go to places outside The Villages. For us, we find the restaurants on campus to be average. Rarely, do we have a meal that we find outstanding. So we go to Prime 3 or McCrackens in Leesburg or head towards Orlando. My wife is also a big Disney fan so we are there 4 to 5 times a year. I understand that Ocala has some interesting restaurants as well so being North would be closer.
Golf on 18 hole courses is cheaper and easier to schedule outside TV.
As for heat and humidity, I adjusted my lifestyle during those months much like I adjusted my lifestyle up north during the winters. Truthfully, I can’t take the cold like I did 50 years ago so I take the heat and humidity today.
Good luck and enjoy your retirement.
