I have never lived anywhere but Ca.

After living in SoCal for 35 years, I must admit, leaving that glorious weather was really hard. It took quite awhile for me to get accustomed to the weather changes here in FL. Blythe is close to Palm Springs in the desert, isn't it?? Well, you'll also have to get used to moisture in the air, lol. There are good parts to that, my skin and hair love the moisture, and my sinuses are not so dry. I do drink a lot less water than I did in CA.

What we find wonderful also is it is so much less expensive to live here. Everything is so much cheaper including food (compared to SoCal.)

When you visit and meet new friends here and see what The Villages has to offer, then make your decision. I really moved here for the friends and activities because I truly loved SoCal, but I have not regretted the move for a minute. You will love it here.
