Thank you for this suggestion. My dog is afraid of all other dogs so we don’t go to parks, but it would be good to ask other pet owners questions.

Courtyard Villas are great for dogs but please know there are many courtyard villas for sale available under $250,000. For example there is one for sale in Villa Escondido for $219,000 in the village of Santiago. We use the Mulberry Dog Park 3x/week, it’s a 10 minute golf club ride away. If you need a rental our Courtyard Villa is available June-December.

We installed an invisible fence for the dogs; it works well.

I have 2 pups. Both are about 20 pounds. I bought a Veranda because of them and have no regrets for the purchase. They, and me too, love that they have the room to roam the backyard or just lay on the grass, in the sun. The yards are not large but for smaller pups they are just fine.

If you're thinking of moving here full-time, don't rent during snowbird season (basically November to April). The prices are WAY higher, everywhere is crowded and you get the foolish idea that the weather is this gorgeous all the time. Rent in a hotter month so that you can feel what it's like when it really warms up. It's too much for some folks but if you find you can tolerate it, it can be great living here year round. In addition to there being lots to do in The Villages, Florida has a ton of great places to visit, many of which have great pricing for Florida resident. And there are significant tax advantages to being a resident. Of course, if you plan on being a snowbird yourself, rent during snowbird season.

Our Villages realtor was Jim Amidei 352 572 8747 and he is fantastic...and SO patient. Here in TV, you may find you need 2 agents....one to show you Villages agents' listings, and a MLS agent to show homes list with other/nonVillages, such as ReMax, Realty Executives, Sally Love, etc. The MLS agents all work together. The Villaages agents are only allowed to work with other Villages agents. It sounds strange, but, they are all used to it.
