Default Re: EVERYBODY SEEMS TO LOVE THE VILLAGES, i WOULD LIKE TO HEAR WHAT YOU HATE BESIDE

Paradise it is. We did our homework and moved here. We have visited FL for over 30 yrs and traveled the state, but the hurricane thing bugged us. What better place than here where we are centrally located. Even a weatherman moved here!

Next we did have a friend in Belleview who picked his area and we kept going by THE BRIDGE wondering what was that? Finally we were getting closer to retiring and stopped in. We visited for 3 years and at different times of the year to experience different times of weather.

Then we did spend 2 weeks in AZ looking there. Now how to make up ones mind. Well, we compared Dell Webb there to here and found it to be $100,000 more. BUT the biggest thing here is the golf carts and all the clubs and activities. That is something we have NOT found anywhere else.

The only thing I can suggest is to be careful hiring contractors. If it doesn't seem right, then don't hire them no matter the price. The Villages will tell you who did the work on your house and if you like that, then get a bid from them.

Weather - well, yes it is HOT during summer. What better time to travel to a cooler location. Also, being from Wisconsin, the nine months of ice and snow was more than gladly swapped for the summer here.

So, do your research and don't rush!
