would you rather live on a large, very private piece of property with an amazing view--perhaps on a lake, river, or in the mountains--but in a perfectly livable but small and otherwise unremarkable house or doublewide mobile home?

Would depend on your age if I was 30 or even 40 I would take your offer on a beautiful home on a lake. But I’m 80 and most people here in the villages are over 55 and some quite over 55 as I am so The Villages the perfect retirement spot plenty to do plenty to see if you’re in The golfing plenty of golf. We have good restaurants good shows live and movie theaters. So for $400,000 you can have a beautiful place I happen to be on a lake here in The Villages but I am the lucky one but there’s plenty of opportunity for a good property here and they’re building new things for south all the time. I live in the north near Polo Ridge and you can’t beat it
