My husband & I have lived in the Villages for six years. We are previously from White Plains, NY & several towns in Bergen Co. NJ. We absolutely love the Villages & would never want to be anyplace else. A lot of people come to the Villages & are very homesick for their grandchildren & in my opinion....don't give the Villages a chance. My grandchildren LOVE to come to the Villages & drive around in our golf cart, visit the pools....have a day or two at Disney. I think it's all in the mindset. And as far as living on the historical side of the Villages, I have friends on both sides. Some of the homes are elegant and who knows or cares where you are living anyway? It is not that kind of place. Everyone is there for the same reason....to enjoy their retirement.
Hope this helps.
