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.

It's good to hear from another CA. it makes me feel more as ease. Yes Blythe is in the desert. We are right on the Colorado River. I love in here but I feel like I am dying of boredom. We go to our Campground membership in Parker so we have activities. We love all our snowbird friends there. I hate it this time of year because it is time for them to leave. It is too early for the family to come to our river house because the grandkids are still in school. I wish we had booked our LSV in April instead of May. I want to visit before we list our house, but the more I visit Talk of the Village the more I think I want to list now.
