The Avenida Central Loop from Perkins to Chili's. I sometimes go out of my way drive it just to enjoy the view.

That is one of my wife's favorite also. When doing our LSV we got a little lost and ended up on Avenida. That's when she turned and said to me, "We're buying a house here!"

Two of my favorite places here in The Villages:

1. Sunset Park on the Morse Blvd Bridge.

2. Polo Grounds. Nice and quiet, bring a chair some wine and cheese and a good book or go for a walk around the polo fields and enjoy the beauty and quietness.

The golf cart trail from 466 to the Polo Grounds. Feel like I should be entering Tara any second.

Wish we had bought a Villa on that road when they were first sold!

Lynnhaven Rec Center at sunset looking west over the retention pond. Often has a great unobstructed view of the sunsets.

I agree! I only wish I could take my pup there. She's not allowed.

Talking I like to get dirty

Pooh, I love that spot shown in your picture, especially when things are in bloom, but for some of us the favorites are where we can find dirt to 'play in'. For reasons that will rightfully make many new Villagers happy, those spaces are disappearing quickly. I will miss them when they finally all gone...

Here was a favorite last year...

The Villages Florida


This is recent but already changed. Did you know that Morse is pretty much cut out to 44, just amazing to watch it evolve.

The Villages Florida

PS. In case you wondering why I in these areas, my dog ran away and I needed to find her....

Pooh, we would agree! While we didn't even come close to seeing all of TV during our recent, but way too short LSV, the area you chose was definitely an early pick for our favorite, too. Here's a snapshot of the wife under the big oaks on Buena Vista, somewhere between Stillwater & Old Mill Run.
