Tired of winter in the north, love warm weather. Been to 2 lifestyle visits. Love the concept of the Villages.
I think of biggest concern is medical care (Medicare and AARP supplemental is our insurance. We have no children or close family so we would not be giving up anything to move.
Thoughts from those living there.

Do yourselves a favor and rent. You'll have the best of all seasons and top medical care since you can flex and go back north for that. You have no roots to pull you one way or the other and you'll avoid all the maintenance work and costs which goes with owning a Florida home. I know all homes have those expenses but you're not chasing mold, bugs invasions, termites, irrigation at all or very little. You also don't have to deal with sinkholes and hurricanes.
