Are the Villages a family affair?
 

In the spirit of the season. Do you have relatives that also live in the Villages? Snow birds count.

Yes. Introduced Sissy to TV, now she owns here.

Yes. I am a second generation Villager.

next door neighbor is a 2nd generation'r.

My sister and her husband moved here a few years before we did. Had she not lived here we probably would have settled full-time in Pinellas County where we snowbirded for several years.

Both of my sisters live here. It is nice having my entire family only minutes away instead of hours away.

Yes

Yes, multiple family members.

Yes. Two out-laws & one close family friend whom we've "adopted."

Yes! My brother & SIL followed us here. My husband’s cousin who decided to buy their first day here, despite many planned retirement destinations undiscovered.

Yes. Brother came about 18 years ago and brought my mother. I visited regularly. When I retired we were snowbirds for 3 years and then bought and came full-time 4 years ago. Love the warm weather and no snow but hubby misses the Fall colors. We can travel to see them.

My TV Family
 

Yes. My wife's parents have a house here. Additionally, my wife's sister and her wife also have a house in TV's. Her family is wonderful and I've been blessed to be a part of it.

24 months ago, I only knew that The Villages was a place in Central Florida, near Atlanta. A surprise birthday party for my maternal aunt brought family from all over the US, including me, an Oregonian. My aunt was my godmother, and I was the ring boy at her wedding long ago. She's lived here for 15 years.

While waiting for the party, we explored and we're glad we did as we were considering retirement places across the US.

We found out retirement home in August 2019, and moved here full time in January. I also learned I have a paternal cousin who lives here, too. Hadn't seen him in 50 years.

So glad we found The Villages!

Not me, but I have friends who have brothers and sisters and mothers living here.

Yes 3 sisters and one brother
