Hi Back! Like others have stated I hope you don't base anything on the Villages by these forums. People in "real life" are so much nicer.
I agree hanging at the pool you meet some great people...much more then the squares . Just more intimate I guess.
I found housing advice completely best to take as suggestions. Drive /golf cart around different times of day and get the feel of the mood of areas. Some people are "city" people who like to be super close to restaurants and shopping so don't mind traffic. Some like just enjoying paths and activities and hanging around friends. Some like big yards Some never use thier yards. So be who you are...there are open houses every day new and old. Educate yourselves on bonds taxes and the feel of different Villages. Enjoy and welcome. We love it here. And we don't even play golf or pickleball. Smile.
