Moving
 

I have some friends that are interesting in moving to TV, what should I tell them?

Seriously?

Visit first. The longer the better...

Talk to everyone you meet. Most are happy to share their experiences...

First... GO PACK!!!! Woo hoo!!
Second - tell them it's an amazing place... just ignore all the "haters"
If they're from WI... tell them to sell the snowblower and roof rake. (yes, we had a roof rake).

There's Plenty of Information to be Had Right Here!
 

Invite them down and show them around, introduce them to your sales agent. We stayed with friends 5-6 weeks over a number of years before buying.

It has gotten too big, stay home.

Clickbait. Come on man

Tell them to wait till all the baby boomers have moved in. That should be about 15 years from now and then the prices will be lower.

If you live here and do not know the answer to your question, please get out more.

Seeing is believing. You can tell them all you want and then they can make their decisions. There is good and bad to be told about anywhere and TVLG is no different.

Look around first. Don't it always seem to go. That you don't know what you've got, Till it's gone, They paved paradise, And put up a parking lot. 2005 was a much nicer time to have moved here. IMHO.

You’re Elite
 

Act like Your Rich, and that no one is better than You! And that only the PAUPERS live outside Our gates! Only Those wanting a “Status Symbol” live in “The Villages” We’re just a mini Hilton Head ������

Michael...do you live here? Tell your friends your experiences. You should know your friends and their likes/dislikes better than anyone on this site

Tell them to wait until summer.������

Grab your ankles!!

If you live here and don’t know what to tell them , you should move out!

Tell them to do a lfe style visit, get with a sales rep to look at homes and enjoy their stay. We did that found a house and we are moving in February. Love the villages.

Really?

Tell them that as of today this is still a free country and they can do what they want.

I’ve lived here 12 years and I have run into a few people that match your description but for the most part we are just a population of people who have worked hard and raised our families and would like to enjoy the relatively few years we have left. If you’ve encountered those that have the attitude you describe let me apologize for them and hope you don’t run in to any more. If you do just know they were that way before they moved here and the change of location didn’t change them.

Tell them to make sure they pick the correct loofa color or they might have unwanted friends!

Move here!

Go to the villages.com. Look at the lifestyle section. Have them come for a lifestyle vacation. That’s what many people do.

I guess you should be someplace else. Send a postcard when you get there.

Leave
 

Go someplace else then. Send a postcard when you get there.

TELL THEM IT IS not the friendliest place to live. political divisivness is rampant and new york and new jersey attitudes runs rampant

What, are you trying to scare them away?


I keed, I keed! :1rotfl:

But serious, yes, this place is a gold mine of information... The good and the bad... :bigbow:

I'll bet people were saying the same thing in 2016...

Rent before buying.

Sage advice...

Buy them the Inside the Bubble book as a gift. Tell them to rent for six months preferably April -September and figure what type house and area then buy and enjoy!

I'd tell them to go with the fish over the chicken. Last time I had it the chicken was a little dry....

Moving
 

Don't let the door hit them in the ass on the way out.

Drop the snow shovel at the NC/SC border.

Tell them to come stay here a while and look, but not in the new areas.

This is kind of like asking should I buy a Ford or a Chevy? Lol

Moving to TV
 

Tell them that moving to TV offers them an opportunity to set their own agenda with most any activities imaginable. Tell them it is a "lifestyle" change where the areas are beautiful and golf and water and outdoor activities are rampant. A great place to live.

I have noticed some “attitude” here at The Villages as well. But I’m interested in what you mean by “New York and New Jersey attitudes.” Thanks

Come on down! It’s great! And put the for sale sign out before they leave!
:clap2:

Tell them to get a house somewhere near the middle of the villages. That would be South of lake Sumter landing. It allows you access to the entire villages

Download The Village app and search homes. Come down to the Life Style stay. New Home will come with bonds.
Experience all 3 squares. There something fit everyone. I enjoy older section homes and I’m near two squares and shopping.
