The Villages is definitely great for people who like to golf, enjoy the Rec Centers, Clubs, taking your golf cart to a ton of bars & restaurants. You can even take your golf cart to the hospital. It's truly amazing.
We moved here first & then went & looked at all the other communities.
It even made me love the Villages more.
We've been here over 12 years.
Enjoy looking at the communities. There are several south on 27. Those are good if you want to be close to Orlando or the attractions, Disney, etc. Kings Ridge & The Plantation are 2 of them.
