Moving to the villages in 2 weeks
 

After being on this site for 2 years we have sold our house and are moving to the villages. We will be renting for a month while we look for a home. We hope to find a place close to shopping and close to a pool. We like Summerhill. See You all soon:a040::a040::a040::a040::a040:

Welcome soon to the Villages!! :a040:

Lucky stiff ! [emoji53]

I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. It is a good time to move here. It is not the busy season. Get to know the restaurants you like and the servers names and you will possibly get better attention when season comes.

Best of luck to you. We will be following you shortly. Take care.

Sure hope so. Lobster awaits.

Where be fresh lobster in the center of Florida ? Don't see any lobster tanks in Publix or Winn Dixie.
Lobster pot awaits...

We will be following both of you shortly and can't wait !

Summerhill is a great area of TV! Close to shopping and doctors.

Congrats! best wishes as you start living the dream. :smiley:

Welcome to TV, Once you find your dream home, settle in, and do only the things that need to be done before the furniture gets there: coat the garage floor, replace carpets, etc. After that continue to look over this site, there is LOTs of info on what you can do etc. We wanted almost 2 years for some projects to make sure this was what we wanted. Beware the door to door sales people and the "welcome wagon" people. Depending on your definition of "shopping" you may greatly be limiting your choices, so be sure you look around. Also, if you look at the Brownwood area, be prepared to use a car to get around, we use our golf cart for the occasional golf game, and cars for everything else.
Hope this helps.

Bringing them down

from Maine gonna

use a cooler!

God willing, and the creek doesn't rise.....

Publix has a tank for live lobster at Colony. I've seen one at Winn-Dixie on rare occasions, but they almost always have flash frozen whole lobsters and/or tails. It's also easy to have shipped from NE using the Internet.

Don't rush yourself. You might find your life style changes from what you though. I would rent for about 6 months before buying.

Us too here in PA! Moving down July1. Will also be renting for a few months while looking for a permanent home! Pass along any suggestions...... :)

Great information.....we're coming from Catasauqua!

Do a search for "new vs pre-owned homes".

Make a list of "must haves" and nice to have" with the nice to have, not being a deal breaker. Think about what is most important to you in terms of what you really enjoy to do. Some people prefer being close to pools, rec centers and golf.

It's all a matter of preference. Some people like to move into a brand new home and some prefer a pre-owned home, that has mature landscaping.

IMHO - Being around 466 leaves to closer to shopping, doctors and closer to the big box stores. After several months, you won't find yourself going to the squares as much.

Any area you chose will be a good one, as there is no bad village to live in.

Excellent and very wise advice. Welcome! Arrived here in 2012 and it's been fantastic.

We moved in 6 weeks ago and it has exceeded our expectations!! Welcome and we hope your experience is the same as ours.
