Pat:
My wife and I looked at houses for about 2 years in the Villages before we bought. During that 2 years on several trips to the TV we looked at Many Many models and loved many of them. We wound up closing on our 1685 sq ft Courtyard Villa on a corner lot with a large back yard. We had never even looked at Villas on all those trips down to TV. The weekend we saw our courtayard Villa is the weekend we bought into the Villages. We closed in July 2009 but have not yet moved down full time. The Villa section we are in I beleive "is the friendliest place on earth"! Whenever I walk out the front door my wife has to come "hunt me down" because the neighbors are so friendly we stand in the street and talk for hours? It is really amazing. The very 1st time we came down after closing we spent the weekend. By the end of that weekend I had met most of the neighbors on my block so friendliness is abundant in TV! We bought a Vinyl sided Villa with No Grass and 2 of my 3 walls in my back yard are the cement walls. Plenty of privacy and NO MAINTENANCE! It's hard to beat the Villa Life!
