Is it really cheaper to live in The Villages or Fl in general? From the little I have been able to glean, there seems to be really no great monetary advantage, so why move there?
Thank you so very much for your time/efforts/comments and advice!!!!!

There is far more than just that. You need to consider, lower taxes (RE), no state taxes, easier on your SS checks, lower cost of living (our minimum wage isn't ridiculous), we don't have a crazy idiot for a governor, housing prices across the state are far less than CA, the atmosphere is far different. We are far different from CA, we had looked years ago at a relo to SoCal, I am so happy I turned it down. I would be totally miserable now.
Keep in mind all the advantages don't have to be just monetary.
