The fact that there may be certain things closer to where I live now, or a village with a different and more preferable vibe, or a style of house that is more attractive, concerns me because if (like most Villagers apparently) I DO move to another location in The Villages, I want to know that I share the same access even if another location in the South is more attractive to me.

That is interesting about moving often. We are just the opposite. We moved to the Historic Area in 2005 and really NEVER saw any need to move. I played in Villages basketball pickups and Senior Events. I played volleyball, softball, table tennis, badminton, tennis and track
. I shot archery, swam in local pools, and once fooled around at horseshoes. All that plus investment clubs, ti chi stretching clubs,and even karate. All of that with easy driving distance from the Historic Area. I rarely drove south of Sumter Landing.
......We are satisfied with our house. It is not perfect, but to us the main point of The Villages is the activities. I think that our lot size is somewhat small, but I read that the lot sizes in the newer areas are EVEN smaller.
......I don't particularly like the summers here. We had a summer house up north for awhile, but 2 houses became difficult to maintain.
........I just never thought that we would GAIN anything by buying and moving to a house south of RT 466.
