No regrets here either and we moved from southern CA....where the weather can be so boring....nice today, nice tomorrow, etc....lol. Believe me, I’m not a fan of the heat and humidity, but you learn to live around it. In colder climates, some don’t venture out....slippery roads, dangerous weather conditions. Here at least there is good climate control everywhere and just short trips from a cooled house, to a cooled car, aren’t unbearable. Some tolerate the heat and humidity better than others...I don’t golf during the hot months, my husband does. My friends and I do other things while waiting for temps and humidity to become more comfortable for us. There is so much to do or not, you decide....so many shops and stores, considerably more than when we arrived in 2006, it’s beautiful and so many areas are accessible by golf cart....ah, love being able to us a cart to get around.

Remember it will be different here, maybe not all will be the same as where you come from....some things are easily adjusted to, other things might take a little longer. Everyplace is different from other places....but some of the differences are really, really nice....;)

Native Floridians, and we have no regrets. We just don’t talk politics.

I don't care what houses they have in Fenney. I'm not leaving so I'm not competing. BTW, been here 21 years and counting.

When my husband and I were there a few times, we loved the idea of golf carts, the pools for adults (no children) unless you go to the family pool, the squares, and the many clubs and activities that one can join.

Unlikely you will get many regrets. If you can rent for a year.

The Villages isn't for everyone! Like dewison says, there are all knds here, like him, but many with regrets and have left. Like me -I'll be gone as soon a I sell my house. I hate the summers here - hot, humid - I don't like the cold either but never shovelled - paid someone to dhjo it. Its a toss up, Ill take the cold, and get months of gorgeous weather, scenery, frienfds and family the redt og the yesr. 2000 activities but how many will you use? My advice, rent here for a few week in the Summer. Try to do some activities you enjoy outside (like me - gardening) . No cultural things outside of The Villages in this area unless you drive for over an hour!
Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Hope this helps. Good luck!

I am enjoying the Villages as we travel back and forth between the northeast and down here. I do see myself eventually staying here for longer periods of time although I miss my grandchildren while being down here. Love the heat and sunshine!
