We are "rainbirds" from northern California and have spent 4 winters in the Villages. There are many positives to the Villages but there are a few things that one will miss from California. We both enjoy all the activities and vibrant nature of the Villages. You will miss the fruits and vegetables are that are so common place in California. Also, the lack of diversity which is prevalent in California which makes it such a interesting State is not available here. One will also find that the left of center political attitudes are non existent here so that may be trying depending on your politics. We are thinking of establishing residency here but we will need to weigh these negatives against the positives of the Villages.
