The people, for the most part, are (at least publicly) very lovely and if you're lucky you'll find a neighborhood where the neighbors are truly neighborly.
Driveway parties - what an awesome concept! Not unique to The Villages, but there are a lot of them here.
Being able to take the golf cart EVERYWHERE - that's one of my great pleasures in The Villages. I had it figured out last year, WHY it was so awesome. When you're in a car, you observe your surroundings, you observe the world on the other side of your car door. In a golf cart, you are an active participant of that world. It's thrilling, because you're RIGHT THERE. You're not just watching it. Even for something as mundane as going to the dentist's office - the process of getting there is FUN when you're in a golf cart. That can affect your entire mood, and I truly think it's one very important reason why so many people are happy here in The Villages.

I truly agree with you about the feeling I get when in my open air golf cart. I would never want one of those air conditioned/heated golf cart vehicles.
My very first trip in our brand new golf cart had me face to face and oh, so close to two sand hill cranes as I emerged from a tunnel. Oh-my-goodness. I will never forget that exhilarating feeling. What a way to travel in this absolutely gorgeous community with infrastructure for golf carting like nowhere in the world. Have I mentioned that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it here?
