Craftysandy, I live in South Jersey also (Winslow Twp.) and can't wait until I can retire in about the same amount of time so that we can move to The Villages. We've have been down three times, two LSV and rented a CYV in May. Just love it there. Problem is I think about it just about everyday and it's making me crazy! We're looking at possibly a CYV or a smaller designer on a corner so we can add a pool. My advice? Go down as much as you can to experience the lifestyle, see the types of homes available (rent different models so you have a good idea of what you'll eventually want). Here's hoping we're both out of New Jersey BEFORE 5 years is up!
