For those yet to move. An old formula in the moving industry is that you can get 6.5 pounds of household goods +/- per square foot of "under roof" house. (Not including the garage and Lanai) For example, if you buy a 2,,000 square foot house you can fit no more than 13,500 pounds. When your mover does their estimate, they will tell you how much the items you are moving weigh. Don't move stuff that will not fit. As stated by previous posters, bring less not more. If the budget allows, bring the good stuff and replace the rest when you get here.

Great suggestions. Question, we're coming from WA in 2022 and want a copper landline, any recommendations of which companies have real copper landlines? Thanks

I agree to a point, but some of door knockers are legiment low pressure sales people who need new sales to support our families. I'm understanding that you would rather we not work and rely on support from public agencies

We kept our cell phone numbers (503 area code) and we have two Google Voice numbers (free, one 503 and one 352). Son and daughter-in-law who live in Georgia are on our plan and have Oregon 503 phone numbers. Copper land lines (POTS - plain old telephone service) is available, but not necessary. We have Panasonic cordless telephone handsets spread around the house that have "link to cell" capability, so we can answer either cell phone with the cordless handsets. Don't miss the copper land line at all. We can program the Google phone numbers to ring thru to any phone number. There really isn't much need for POTS phone numbers these days. Even the cable/internet companies use different technology to implement phone service these days.

We have lived here 23 years. At first you will be told you have hard water, this is usually a lie. Never pay pest control in advance, only quarterly, easy to stop if not performing. Landscaping can be a problem, tree trimming, check with people that have lived here, they may be able to help you. Don't pay ahead until done. Good Luck to you.

Please be careful. The local services love to overcharge women for the same services they would charge couples. In less than one year I’ve had 4 lawn mowing services and the prices varied by 40%. Do not ever give your credit card number to put on file, as they set it up for auto pay. Best thing to do is contact your major credit card company - MasterCard Visa Amex and tell them one time charge only.
Other big Red Flags are Scott Plumbing, Deans, Sun Kool, Floormasters TD, Nove, Pegasus - TV owns an equity stake therefore their prices are always higher. Be careful of contractors you may not be purchasing a one time function but maintenance where they charge you crazy prices and may not be due. My brother in law bought Nova water system charged him 600- in Sept 2019, they did not move in full time until 2020 and they returned October 2020 to change a filter $132- which is cukoo, excuse was annual filter changing No longer do any local departments come out and replace fire detector batteries anymore. Don’t waste 60- on local newspaper, the Sun, it is ads and real estate which has no benefit for you. |

Yes, I'd be interested in that information as well.

Nova does not come automatically. You have to call them a d request them to change filters. They suggest you change filters AFTER using a certain amount of gallons of water, as noted on your water bill. There are 3 filters not 1 that they change. |

I don’t know where you get your information from but just to clarify
Nova Filtration is a Family owned and operated Company And the owners are Villagers since 2012. The Villages have no ownership or vested interest in the company. As far as filter changes are concerned they are recommended to be changed annually regardless if your full time or part time. All of this information is given before the customer buys the systems. |
