Boston to Deluna
 

Just bought a home in DeLuna, never been to the villages but can’t wait to get there Sept.17th. Can’t wait to meet you all.

welcome neighbor!
I hope that you like freeway /road noise 24/7 (on 2 sides), water pump noise 24/7, on going construction for the next 6 months and near total lack of any trees, wildlife, etc...because that's what they don't tell you about Deluna when they sell it over the phone, to those that dont know better. :cry:

Really?
 

Oh, come on! You bought a house in The Villages and have never seen this place? Such a trusting soul you are.

Do you live in DeLuna, I’ll bet not? Most people complaining about the noise live north of 44.

Traffic
 

I lived on Route16 and Route 28. MBTA busses and trucks plus cars. Traffic is definitely not gonna be a problem for me. Thanks for responding. Have a wonderful day

You’re gonna love it here! :thumbup:

Not knowing what part of DeLuna you will be living in, I can only say the area we live in should be completely done in a few weeks. It is amazing how fast things happen.

Good luck but supposedly the average villager owns three homes here before deciding on the right one for them.

I live in DeLuna and have no road traffic noise. As for water pump noise, I have no idea what your talking about. Never heard any water pump. There is some construction noise but it will be gone soon. No I don’t have wildlife in my backyard but if you venture outside of your house for a short 2 minute walk, you can find wildlife all over. (Haven’t seen an alligator yet but I’m sure they are there)

Best move I ever made, come on down.

Thank you. I believe we will

Thanks for the warm welcome

Welcome to TV! Ignore all the Debbie Downers.

Such a nice response.

We have been here seven years. Absolutely zero regrets. Best place to live, period. Welcome.

Welcome!
 

Welcome to paradise. You will love it here. We just moved here in March and live in the Village of Hawkins, also close to the parkway. The noise is a non-issue for us and I haven’t yet met anyone who actually lives down here who has complained to me. There are some people on this site who seem to be making a second career out of talking about the noise down south, and most of them live nowhere near here, but they heard it from a friend, who heard it from a friend…… You get the picture.
The southern end of the Villages is growing in very exciting ways. Moving here is one of the best things we have ever done. Don’t listen to the nay-sayers. Just prepare yourself to enjoy your home, the weather, and this amazing lifestyle.

Welcome to The Villages. Lived in Marblehead for 29 years. Been in The Villages for 16 years.

Love it. Currently in Marblehead for our annual visit. Always makes me better appreciate The Villages.

Get ready to never be bored again! Enjoy this active retirement heaven. :BigApplause:

Bought a house and have never been to The Villages. Oh well…

If you can handle that, you'll be fine.

Welcome to The Villages

Welcome. This is a wonderful place to live.

Welcome home. There is so much to see and do here, plus the weather is awesome. You’re gonna love it here.

You made a great decision. We are from RI and love it here! You will love the walking trails, activities, and the friendly neighbors.
Welcome to The Villages from the Village of St. Catherine.

Welcome! If you visit this forum often enough, you will discover there are some regulars, a dozen or more, who love to talk trash and complain. You could buy them lunch at Havana, and give them a $25 gift card to Lowe's. The next day, you might see their post complaining about the free lunch, and that they can't use the Lowe's gift card because they won't drive that far south! In other words...pay no attention to those trying to throw negative waves on your choices. Life in The Villages all about what you make of it. For me, it starts with avoiding negative people. Enjoy the adventure!

Although we are not in DeLuna, we bought out house sight unseen also. You will love it here. Welcome!

Welcome
 

The DeLuna area is a great place to live with a lot of green space/trails. Folks tend to find what they are looking for, good or bad.

The one's that live near a waterfall are tell you something listen to their roars and transparency of the life at the Villages.

Best place ever. Don’t listen to the naysayers! Incidentally, the houses are well soundproofed should you be next to a passing road. Come on down and join the fun!

Where are you from in MA? We moved down 12 years ago and live in Pennecamp. Best thing we ever did. We came down via Rt 95 to Rt 287 to Rt 78 to Rt 81 to Rt 77 to Rt 26 to Rt 95 to Rt 10 to Rt 75 to Rt 44. Go to AAA and they'll route it for you. This way we avoided the big cities and a lot of traffic and thru the Shenandoah Valley was beautiful. A lot of nice clean rest areas this way. My husband grew up in Quincy and I grew up in Somerville but we lived in Attleboro for 33 years. You will enjoy it here.....NO SNOW!

Stay happy and healthy

DeLuna bound
 

Enjoy your move this is a great place to live. Don’t worry about the noise, you might hear some but it isn’t as bad as some have said. Welcome

First thing to know about TV. Probably best to avoid this site. Lots of mean-spirited posts.

We just moved here in December and love it. We’d never been here before we stopped by for a quick look in October. Everyone has been welcoming. Our local curmudgeon even stopped by to say, “Hi.” Welcome to you, too.

That wasn't very nice.
 

Not quite sure why you would do that to someone you've never met.

I do think it's funny how mostly the complainers are people that live north. Deluna is beautiful. I've drive all over the different villages north and south. I live south. Noise doesn't bother me. I like the newer homes and people are great. I have several friends in Deluna and they love it. Don't let negative people take a minute of your time.

Congratulations
 

We are also here from MA. It’s amazing how big TV actually are and that you will be able to do activities and pools anywhere, you are not confined to your one village as in your old town.
There is a Baystaters Club if you want to meet others that have moved here from MA.

I rode my bike around Deluna the other day, I was surprised how big the village is. I did hear some highway noise in some areas but many areas were very quiet. I found a great bike path with trees, ponds and wildlife.

I come from Medford. And don't forget 93

Welcome! You are going to love The Villages. We bought our house in Hawkins (also in the new area) and had never been to The Villages before. Our only regret we didn’t do it years earlier. We moved from Oregon. We love the west coast but the weather wasn’t allowing us to be active all year. Now, we have more activities than time for them. The great thing about living below 44, is it’s a much younger crowd. There is plenty of wildlife. People share their house camera photos online and there are bears, bobcats, and even a Florida panther in the area. It’s also not as congested as the older areas. Wide open spaces with much larger green belts down here. They are starting construction on the new square (called Eastport) and it will be a New England fishing village from what I’m hearing. It will have a man made lake a mile long that the square sits on, to be used for the dragon boat racing. Give this new area 5 years and it will be absolutely gorgeous. Enjoy!
