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. :)

Hello everyone! well I started this thread in Feb, and here it is June and I am one week settled into my house in Pine Hills, and love it! boxes are gone, and I am starting the furniture shopping part :) My neighbors are perfect and wonderful, and everyone has been very gracious and kind. My dogs are also adjusting albeit, wondering what's going on!! From a rental to a home in a few months, so glad I did it! I am looking forward to getting to know the 'singles' and make friends. Thank you to ChaCha for keeping me in touch and in mind...See you soon :)

i hope ingenuity and tracy can meet during the short time she is here....many new people coming down soon! fun times!

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. :wave:

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

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?
