Good friends of ours have a place in Hawthorne with a boat. They love it there. Many things to do.
We are in The Plantation, about 2 miles south of Hawthorne.

The Villages is a one of a kind place. There are many nice communities in the area, all nice, all a bit different from each other. We have friends in Arlington Ridge, Legacy, The Villages, Hawthorne, Royal Highlands, etc,etc....

These places are like a rack of shoes...all look nice, all a bit different.....try as many on as you can....one will just "fit right".

Check on HOA's the rules, the fees, how stable they are money-wise, etc. I like the fact that the place we are in is all owned by US, not the developer.....the financials are rock solid, HOA fees are low, and no CCD or bond fees.

The good news is there is hardly a bad choice out there...there ARE a few, so look well. Congrats and enjoy!!

Frank
