We moved here 3 1/2 years ago from a home over 7000 sq ft to a 1500 sq ft courtyard villa, which was great for a while and gave us the freedom of time to explore The Villages lifestyle without alot of home maintenance, and forced us, in a positive way, to 'purge' our life of alot of things we really didn't particularly need or want anymore, but which we had just kept due to inertia; and then we moved to a designer a few months ago both for more space and to a newer neighborhood. In about two-three years when most or all of the buildout is complete we will probably move again, into a premier, because even though it is true that it is a freeing thing to have less space to care for, now that we have settled into a more normal 'at home' life here, and have made a growing number of friends that we have over regularly, I do miss the roominess of a larger home, especially for entertaining and guests.
