I have been to the Villages three times already. I think it is a great place to live. It seems like a lot of fun, driving that golf cart around. But as always, there is someone who will talk against living in Florida and say I will hate it when it gets really hot.
We're eternal optimists hence the edited subject line/heading.

We bought both TV homes hastily because of the opportunities

We are not living there yet, but visited 10 times in 2009 and a few this year
We deliberately came on June 21, the longest day (to coincide with Father's day '09) and late august '09 supposedly the hottest season.

not a whole lot if any worse than Maryland.

Just add 'Lady lake' and 'Oxford' to your searches and favorites on Weather Channel and you can keep up daily.

We asked a few people and concluded that because none of the 31 billion that have walked this mothership for thousands of years, no two are alike.

Ask 10 people get 15 opinions.

We had mid 90's last June and low 100's in august '09.

We cranked the climate control on a tad to bring the inside to 85 then use open windows at night with discreet window fans (out of sight) and the joint stays nice without AC most ofd the time

Same up here in Md.

We have yet to use the AC and could very well get through the year without it- though the last three days barely got us under 90 at night - if it weren't for todays high wind, high rain storm, we might have had trouble getting the inside under 90

long story short, we are training for the season and doing quite well, so by the time we 'more time' in TV, we'll be very tolerant of the increased temps.

Because our places are often rented out when we visit, we have some great hosts with a Premiere.
They don't use heat or AC either, except for occasional visitors that use it in the guest room.

Th gentle breezes, swimming pools, and low incidence of bugs makes TV in the heat a fine place to be outside all year
