We came here from Massachusetts. Initially part time then after two years full time.

In the 20 years, we have moved 5 times. We started out brand new, then pre-owned. Nothing wrong with pre owned houses in the Villages. We started in Sumter Landing, then gradually moved over to Pinellas and ultimately moved over to the Spanish Springs side into a Courtyard Villa. Best decision we made in the Villages. Hindsight is 20/20 right. We never wanted to move over to the Spanish Springs area. However, the Villages has gotten so huge and we've gotten older. Factors I want to point out. In the beginning it was great fun. However, the traffic is getting crazier, the older we get, the quieter we want, yard work is harder and more expensive. A courtyard villa is perfect for all your needs and more. We live over by Mulberry off route 42. Very quiet, Publix, Walgreens, etc. within a good walking distance. Very quiet Villas over on this side. We are selling ours now, but this is not why I'm telling you all this. Like I said hindsight is 20/20. When you look, look at a Courtyard villa, privacy and great neighbors! Good luck to you.
