Best Thing about the Villages
 

What is the best thing that you like about the Villages that your old home town did not have.

Hey CoolCat. You ask some great questions. The best thing is the pool is open until 11pm. Only two or three pools are. The best thing we don't have that they have in the old hood is SNOW. We went back for a quick visit last March and the minute we got on the New Jersey Turnpike :boom: SNOW and cold and pool was closed and long pants and a heavy duty jacket. It was terrible....:cold:. We have a Villages friend who chooses to live that way about half of each year. Must be for a good reason.:ohdear:

I will be thinking about that this when the snow starts in Long Island.

A lanai instead of a deck and a golf cart garage

Music outdoors every night of the week

High humidity and heat 6 months of the year.

Tons of golf courses and I don't need a car! Everything is always kept beautiful. Friendly people! Etc, etc, etc!!!!

Affordable living on our pensions, great weather, golf cart ride to everywhere I want to go on property. MUCH cheaper taxes & utilities !

The people have a generosity that I've not seen elsewhere. A friendly wave, a helping hand, a kind word are always there.

My wife and I aren't residents yet, but every time we visit the friendliness of the people is what keeps us coming back. 99% of the people seem to just be thankful and enjoying their life, and they're not afraid to make you feel welcome in their paradise.

Best items here?
The Golf cart paths, bike paths, walking paths. We have a two year old, bought as a new car, it now has less than 400 miles on it.
Thanks to the carts and the bike paths. We only use the car to go outside the villages to tutor at elementary schools, just started the second tank of gas. Have very nice neighbors, quiet and plenty of exercises at the pools and at the Recreation Centers.
Can go out early, and no cars, no crowds, but have to hole up about 11 am to make way for the Happy, Happy hour-lets.
:wave:

Low property taxes and lots to do.

No more Long Island winters. It dropped down to the 40s here last night. Looking foward to my return to TV next week.

High Taxes and nit picking traffic cops
