I should point out that we were never full-time Villagers. We bought new in 2017 and again new in 2019 and were part-timers until we sold early this year. A big factor in deciding to sell was the cost of owning two homes. It also seemed like when we were in FL we worried about RI and vice versa. A few of the other factors influencing our decision were three more grandkids since 2017, the 1,335 mile drive (we have a dog), the RI change of seasons, better restaurants up north and doctors (cataract surgery and hip replacement earlier this year) and a new appreciation of our 2+ acres of wooded privacy in RI. We did, for the most part, enjoy our time in the Villages but it’s a better fit for us up north.
