Fire away with the questions!. And don't be afraid to not Google the answer first. Right Michael61? Some of us enjoy seeing questions that we would not have thought to ask, and answering old ones.

Please use better grammar. English is a proper noun and should be capitalized.

There is a new resident's informational meeting given each month at a rec center. Be sure to go to that as you'll gain some knowlege that way as well as from others who live here. Sign up for Villages News....not the "rag" that reports all the junk, but the one with The Villages as they put out announcements of what's happening in our community....the squares etc.

Hello and Welcome!

We moved here less than a year ago, after enjoying short vacations many times and after finally realizing that the northern area was best for us.

It was difficult to pull away from the southern end of TV because the lifestyle sales crew kept leading us 'south'. It just didn't 'sync' with us.

We took our time, researched TV thoroughly and we tuned-in to TOTV often to "listen" to the wise sages.
Gee whiz, I miss Gracie Girl, but still see many of my old favorite sages giving advice and commenting here. Thanks all!

I continue to learn more from "listening" and hitting the 'search' button, rather than asking questions in this forum.

My advice is similar to others here.

Familiarize yourself with proper lane usage and if necessary, go for rides.. early in the morning and LEARN how to traverse the round-a-bouts properly.

Take your time. Think furniture through and through before you bring it down, whatever you do!

There is plenty of time to set your new home up, it doesn't ALL have to be done in a day.

ENJOY your new Digs!

Welcome fellow New Englander! Came overwhelming if you let it be. Take one step at a time and enjoy the awesomeness TV will provide.

Make sure you buy The Villages GPS app as it is much better than the free Villages app. More information and constantly being updated.

Welcome Mass288!
Where in Mass are you from? My husband grew up in Quincy, I'm from Somerville but we lived 33 years of our married life in Attleboro.
We used ABF and loaded a trailer (they allow 3 days to load), it was held in Ocala til we got here (no extra charge) and we had 3 days to unload it (we hired 2 football players from the charter school but you can get day hires here to help). Get rid of any furniture you are not in love with because it's expensive to move and when you get here you realize you want a more FL style. We stayed in a friends house here for a week, 2010, and went around and bought all floor models (40% off) and our golf cart during that week before our closing date and had our stuff booked to come hours after closing. This site was so helpful in answering any questions you may have and I depended on it for everything. You'll wish you came here much sooner when you get settled. Stay in touch.

Welcome! You will love it here! Every neighborhood has its plusses and minuses - it all depends on your preferences. Moved here 18 months ago and absolutely love it here!

I agree, Bridget. When the OP doesn't care enough to write decent sentences that make sense, I have no interest in responding to them.

I suggest you focus on the one or two activities that you are keenly interested in. Get a copy of the Recreation News, available at the recreation centers, to find a club or activity that is of interest, and if lucky find one meeting while you are here. You will have ample time and opportunity to try new activities and club after your move.

Be sure to find and join your village's FaceBook group. You'll get lots of good information there, too. It's also a good way to meet your neighbors.

Rather harsh to a new poster.
