I know about The Village of Parkwood and do not think we are interested despite the beautiful homes because of the bad reviews about the builder. Are there any other neighboring communities or even apt/condo rentals we could be looking at? I need somewhere SAFE for my daughters and no more than 15-20 mins from The Villages. Even a website that could show us rentals nearby would be great! Thank you in advance!

I feel that I need to say to you that employment is not as easy to find here than it might be from where you are now and wages are usually lower. Florida schools aren't known for their wonderful quality. The Villages Charter schools are better than the surrounding schools and are open to children of parents employed at The Villages. So along with your housing, it is important to consider those other things as well.

I bet your folks can check out housing for you too since they live here.

Hope it all works out well for you.
