I work in Leesburg and my husband remote so medical work could be possible in the newest facilities down south as well. Are there things you want to do outside of the bubble?

We are in Orlando area, Ocala, Tarpon Springs, Costco, wherever about every other weekend. Highway access was crucial to us. Adding the difference from up north to get to a wonderful brunch at Winter Park wasn’t a consideration.

Of course we wish there was more shopping and golf cart access within our location but the items above were more important.
You can live anywhere. Why didn’t you just go to Winter Park or Orlando, Tampa or Tarpon Springs if that’s what is most important! Living in the heart of The Villages, with everything The Villages has to offer including golf cart access anywhere, and golf cart country club crawls, golf, swimming, pickleball, polo, etc.
OP there are full time jobs available with The Villages, if not healthcare and insurance is pretty decent.
