Larry, I'm just a TV wannabee at this point, but there are a ton of things to do in TV even if you are not a golfer -- clubs, classes, activities, etc. I will be back in June for my fourth visit. I would retire to TV tomorrow, but I still have a few yrs. to go until I can do that. If you go on The Villages - Florida's Friendliest Retirement Hometown - New Home Sales, Home Resales, Build Your Dream Home, download the weekly recreation guide which comes out every Thursday I believe. It's about 60 pages long full of activities for the upcoming week.

You stayed in The Villages for a month and had use of a golf cart and are asking if it is a good place to retire?

I would hope in that month that you would have gone all around The Villages to see and experience all the good things to do. Did you go to the two town squares to see entertainment in the evenings; did you enjoy shopping at all the stores in The Villages; did you enjoy the variety of restaurants and country clubs; did you play golf; did you just enjoy the beauty of The Villages?

I would have to ask you what you want in a retirement place that you did not find in The Villages.

I suggest you contact the administrator and have your email address removed as you name on this site............unless you want to get a lot of unwanted email messages.

Larry, I don't play golf. I'm not a joiner. I still manage to find a lot of things to do that make my days as full as I want them (other than working). What's nice is that if I want a lazy day at home, I can do that just as easily.

If you are unsure think about coming during off season stay two or three months see if you like it and start looking for a house
