We own (since July)

We live here (since January)

We love it...forever!

We were standing in line at the mobile post office this afternoon outside of SweetBay talking with others also in line. Everyone just loves living here in TV. One women asked if I ever heard about The Pearly Gates...it went something like this (I hope I don't mess it up),

A couple from the Villages dies and they both go up to Heaven.

St. Peter meets them at the Pearly Gates and asks, "And where are you two from?".

The couple replies, "The Villages!".

St. Peter shrugs and says, "You're not going to like it here".

We purchased a home in 2006 and live here fulltime. The best feature of The Villages are its residents. There has only been two, perhaps three people, during that time I have met and cared not to be around...but then I haven't met buggyone in person yet

We've owned since early 2009.

This is our only home. We travel extensively in our motor home for four or five months during the Summer and early Fall, but we consider ourselves full-time Villagers. Life is GOOD - without a doubt, we have the best of all worlds.

Own since Sept 2010.

Picked out lot in June 2010, built and closed 09/02/2010.

Soon as our house in Atlanta sells, we will be full-time FROGS and can't wait. Housing market here in Atlanta STINKS. I can't give this house away and we are trying.

Yes to all 3- We own, we rent it out, and we desperately wish we lived there. Counting the time down til we can move in and not rent it out. Until then we can enjoy what everyone else is saying about how great it is and look at the pictures until they are 'dog'eared from our lifestyle visit.

We feel blessed to own here in The Villages and also in Massachusetts. Our plan is to split our time between both places and to always appreciate what we have. As long as I never have to shovel snow again, I'm a happy man.

...

I am not a resident.
I am interested. LSV scheduled in April.
Plan a hotel stay during peak season as I am concerned with congestion.

We came, we saw, we bought, we moved. In our CYV neighborhood we have a combination of full-timers, snowbirds, snowflakes and renters. It has turned out to be the wonderful and eclectic neighborhood that I had hoped to find.
