We have looked at homes in the Villages, and really enjoyed our visit, but we've decided that we would like to live closer to the water. We are looking in the Sarasota/Venice area. Does anyone have any suggestions for 55+ communities in that area? Our budget is $250K to $400K and are more interested in the beach than golfing. Thanks in advance for your help. After spending time in the Villages we can see why so many have chosen it as their place to retire!
