I Love the Villages
I and most everyone here love the Villages, and we have lived many places in our lives. Anyone contemplating moving here should research it long and hard and spend quality time here. It is much easier and less expensive to do that then try to sell a home and move quickly again. The Villages and even Florida is not for everyone, but it is a wonderful place for most retirees. I for one thank the Morse family for creating such a wonderful place to live out our lives.

Opportunities arise, or circumstances happen... and plans/ options change. Numerous friends I know here intended to live here full time- they can't do that yet, things have happened. I planned on moving to New Mexico solo- then I married again. WE decided to retire to The Smokey Mountains- then we found The Villages. We thought we'd only be free to be snowflakes for a few years- the opportunity arose to make it permanent quickly. Hubby thought he'd retire- the company wants him to stay, so he commutes and DOES feel like he's in a resort when he's home. I retired, when I never thought I'd have that luxury- and every day feels like I'm on vacation now. Incredible. Just examples. When we purchased 2 1/2 years ago, we did understand that a % of homes were available to those under 50 years of age. Perhaps that is something that wasn't in place originally, but that is today's (non-discriminatory) political correctness. "Retirement" means different things to different people. I am a senior citizen (so they tell me) but I don't feel any different on the inside than I did at 40. My body may be aging, but my core spirit is not- and as long as I have my wits about me, I believe it will stay that way. To me, that is natural. I think it would not be surprising to find that there are many who feel the same way. As to 'golf cart access from other retirement communities'.... it wouldn't bother me one way or another. I don't think it would harm the quality of my days. |

And that's the brilliance of the Developer's unique vision! To develop a huge city with a zillion amenities, restaurants, and shopping opportunities, yet still make residents feel secure and able to identify with their own individual neighborhoods.

Diane, one thing I found that it is harder to find your niche here as a single. It takes longer and more effort than it does for a couple unless you're seriously outgoing and like to party a lot. I think for the first year I was here, I did almost everything myself. After some time, I found friends and activities that truly suited me. Give it your year. You may find that magic fit and, if you don't, you happen to have purchased in a community where it is pretty easy to sell and move. Either way, I wish you the best.

Nothing to do with PC. It's a FLA housing law as far as I know.

We bought in 1988 and we were in our late fourties.
