I moved here from Tennessee (Nashville area) a few months ago and so far I liked Tennessee better. But maybe that will change as I get used to it here.

Most of the houses in the Villages are very small and close together. They do have larger ones, but they are kind of pricey and remotely located. I may need to open my wallet a little wider.

I liked having a pool at home. They have pool homes here too, you just have to pay more.

There are lots of golf courses, but most of them are not particularly good and they are fairly full. I find myself playing less golf here than I did at home.

I am in a new house in the south part of the villages. I find myself driving a lot to reach stores and restaurants and get to places I need to be. I am probably in the car 3 hours per day sometimes a lot more. It is tiring. That may change as Eastport and Middleton develop.
