After spending time in the Villages we can see why so many have chosen it as their place to retire!
I would suggest you look in the Cocoa Beach/Cape Canaveral area if "beach" is your passion. Because of the recent layoffs at NASA and others involved in the Space program you will find some real estate bargains along this coast of Florida. In addition, the beaches are beautiful. Good luck.
