When you are driving please pretend you are a nice person and you don't blow your horn at every driver who is in your way. Calm down! You'll get there. I've been here 27 years and cannot believe the level of traffic now. This ain't NYC or Chi or Boston. Relax and enjoy life.

While not our first time to the Villages. We are coming back in May for a month from Canada. We love the atmoshpere, the people and the amenaties. And how well everything is managed and taken care of. We have friends that want to visit us while we are there. Also Canadian and they are worried about what Americans are thinking about us and if there is anomosity or if they need to worry while at the villages. I have a feeling they won't come and experience such a wonderful place.

Hi,
We are considering the move to TV from Texas because of the Village activities, etc....
If you initially choose to live in a surrounding community near TV, but not in it directly, are you able to participate in Village activities with an Activity card or what?

US citizens do NOT dislike Canadians. Unfortunately, tariff (tax) issues have become magnified in the news.

No activities other than the nightly music at the squares and restaurants.

The squares, yes, but none of the rest of the activities. There are guest passes for friends of residents but you would not be eligible for one due to your local address.

The amenities are for the Village residents - those in surrounding communities are not residents of the Villages.

^ Concur with JimTheGreatAmusement on this and absolutely nothing else.

Neither I nor anyone else I know harbor any resentment to our good friends, the Canucks, whether they be primarily English or French-Canadian speakers.

Not sure that good feeling is mutually shared in the more French regions of Maple Country during ours, and by accounts of close friends, others' visits to the Great White North. Regardless, no ill will harbored to the subjects of the monarchy from the north.

4 days after moving in, a well-known lawn care company guy knocked on our door saying he was here to continue the monthly service. He claimed he had regularly been doing so and quoted a monthly price to continue service. But... the prior owner provided us a list of all the monthly service companies, and his company WAS NOT on the list. (in fact, she has already paid all the regular service providers to the end of the year) When we said the prior owner has paid for all services until January his story started to change and change again. MY ADVICE: If they have to con you to get you....... don't let them anywhere near your home.... EVER!!!!!!

Who is that well-known lawn care company? Why is it a secret?

If you are moving from the North it’s probably best to get rid of your furniture except for special items and get new Florida style furniture down here. Save the moving cost and put it towards new furniture especially for the LR & DR
