We were impressed with the impeccable grooming of the entire landscape; no matter which quadrant of The Villages we drove through in our rental car.
We didn't attempt to do the entire tour in a golf cart; only used it "locally" in our rented home's neighborhood...........however, for those who love their golf carts........TV is all golf cart accessible and once retired, with all the time in the world.........I can understand why people would want to go everywhere in them.
We've enjoyed raising our family and living in the beautiful Green Mountain State of Vermont for 43 years and it was great when we were younger. Now, we'd much prefer the smooth roads and lack of pot holes in The Villages........the flat terrain which makes walking easier (than going up and down hills, whether they be our streets, roads or driveways)........we are definitely looking forward to a FLAT home with NO multiple levels nor lots of staircases to go up and down all day long.
The Town Squares are very attractive.....our favorite being Lake Sumter Landing and vicinity..........but the others are nice as well.
Tons of all the "services" that any senior citizen would require.........without having to leave the premises of TV...........
We're not into line dancing or going to bars, so the entertainment, although a nice addition for those who love to dance.......to us it would not be a selling point........anyway, I've been told that so many of those who frequent the nightly entertainment don't even live in The Villages.
We've enjoyed four seasons our entire life.............
Now, one season of sunshine most days would be greatly appreciated, and preferable.
Once we find a lot or a home with a lot of space around it, we will be all set......but first we have to put this home on the market for sale........it will all happen in good time. For now, we are narrowing down our choice of villages as we recall them.......using online sites for homes, plus our Villages map.
We met a lot of nice people during our visit.......found the neighborhoods we were in to be nice and quiet. Other than the summer heat, I don't think the adjustment will be difficult at all. In our minds, we just need to flip the winter season cold with the summer season hot/humid........
