The "older" people (70's) are quite active, a lot of fun, and you'd be surprised at how well some of them golf. Many are playing pickleball and softball as well.

Thank you for encouragement! I am very excited so start a new life and to live life!!!
Hope to meet you, Tracy

Maddie, when will you be in TV? I am coming June 8 and looking forward to seeing TV.

Hi, sorry to disappoint you. I have a lot to take care of at my primary home in VA. It will be a few months before I go back. Are you renting a place there or doing Life Style? I rented a place there and it was half price of the Life Style and I made friends with my landlady. But, not many people want to rent for a week, two weeks are easier to get and now in June, should be easier than in May. Look in the real estate tab or website, something about home4rentatthevillages. But, I will advise anyone not to use real estate service of Jeff Sz. I got a private message (pm) from a member here asking me questions and telling some of the undesirable behaviors of this Jeff. He is not nice at all when you don't buy from him! I can recommend a good and nice MLS and VLS agent whom I had good experiences with. Remember, I am a realtor in VA too, so I know what a good professional realtor should be. Just send me a pm. I recommend you attend totv monthly meeting in June if they have one. Check totv for the posting. Great to meet people who are very helpful and kind. I wish you fun and friends like I got. You can develop friendship from there too.

I miss my friends, fun and my house there already. Hope to see you later and everyone. Be healthy and happy.

Tracy, Congratulations on your new home; you sound very happy. Enjoy settling in and furniture shopping. Pine Hills is another area I will have to check out when I visit TV in September as I don't know if anyone was living in Pine Hills when I visited TV in 2014.

I would like to meet people near my age group and wonder if I would make friends being younger than the average age at TV. I still work from home, but want to get involved in a positive community and outgoing individuals. Please note, I enjoy all age groups, but I want to know your thoughts on the younger side and the opportunities to meet and 'belong' to the community. Also, any thoughts on where location wise (I have scoured the website and hard to decide if new or current homes are best) for a younger community. Any thoughts in general to assist me would be helpful. I have downloaded the ebook on TV, and plan to spend the month of April getting a better feel for locations.

Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions?
much appreciated, Tracy

Tracy, Don't Think about it, just DO it. U will fined every thing U want here in The Villages

How did it work out for you? I am coming out on Aug.16 for a few days to try and secure a rental or house share so I can try it out for a year. I'm nervous about leaving my home in California, but really want a change. Was it difficult to meet active people who are a bit younger? Did you buy or were you able to get a rental at a good price? What do you do with so many rainy days?

Since you want to rent for a year, you have many options. Here's a website with over a 1,000 Villages Rentals for you to choose from.

Since you're worried about meeting other folks, here's the Village of Virginia Trace website with a load of links on many clubs and other activities.
