In 2010 we were searching in AZ for a retirement home and were very impessed with a development between Phoenix and Tucson built by Robeson. We realized that 6 hour flight would get old very soon and that we would not have many visitors from Boston. We then visited The Villages that same year and we were amazed with everything that was included and the variety of activities whether you are an active or sedentary type of person. We've been here since 9/2010 and have had lots of company (Disney is a nice draw too). Kids of all ages like it here and it's only a 2 1/2 hr flight from Boston/Prov area into Orlando or Tampa, whoever has the cheapest flight deal at the time. Humidity last summer was bad but 2011,12,13 were great summers and didn't bother my respiratory problems at all and like the others say, everything is A/C so no need staying cooped up at home when there are a lot of clubs/games meeting in the Rec Ctrs. Come and see for yourself.
