Hello to all! My husband and I will be retiring in a few years and are coming down later this month to check out The Villages. I have been searching different real estate websites, including the homes for sale on The Villages website, looking at the photos of the different home styles to narrow down our search for the "perfect" home (if one exists). I have noticed, however, that some of the homes for sale have iron bars installed on the front doors, and even on some windows. This concerns me a little bit. Is there a problem with crime in The Villages where homeowners feel safer with security bars? I've noticed that the majority of the homes for sale that do have bars are located in the older, northern section near Spanish Springs. Thanks for any info you can give.

We are in the process of buying a CYV in the Calumet Grove/Chatam area. Who are you using for your cable and internet, we are not interested in a landline but with the bundling the major providers push that remains to be seen. We rented earlier this year in Chatam and I believe the owners had Century Link, meanwhile this week we were in Alden Bungalows for a few nights Comcast was the provider. Pros/cons for either service, what is your experience?
Thanks |

If I was starting from scratch I would go to amazon and buy and air mattress. They are amazing and easily stored in case you get a house full for the holidays. I would also buy the biggest folding table they sell and 4 folding chairs. They also come in handy. Then find someone that can deliver and watch the village ads right here and join a neighbors online group. I forget the name and someone will help me remember. Each village has one. I remember now---it is called NextDoor-----google it----it's very safe IMHO Last edited by tomwed; 06-01-2018 at 12:09 PM. |

We are looking for furniture as well because we just bought a CYV in Desoto and found there is an Ashley Furniture Homestore, we use them at home in NY and have had great luck. The closest store we found was Inverness. Good quality and decent prices.

I have lived here 10 years and have not died from drinking the water, and our clothes wash fine in our water. Great comments. Listen to them. We purchased several pieces of furniture from Kents Furniture in Bellview. All our dealings with them were positive and they deliver to TV., also listen to Gracie, Barbettes Furniture in Leesburg is great. I think they ar opening a store in Brownwood

Folks, did you know that our wonderful Fire Dept will come to your house and change out all the batteries in your smoke alarms/detectors and CO detectors. You provide the batteries, they provide the labor, yep NO CHARGE!!!!!! They don't want people falling off ladders. Just call and make an appointment.

When we buy a house in an HOA, we always ask for copies of the HOA documents as a contingency so we can review them. Most of them do not want to give them out before the closing. |
