Joe and Barbara moved to Madison Villas in Mallory Square January 2007 from Lindenhurst, NY. We love it here and are doing things that we never imagined would be a part of our lives. We have great neighbors and all get along well. Great place to live.

Re: I'm curious where the Talk of The Villages members and guests live
 

There is a house going up for sale in my neighborhood, Lynnhaven..It is a patio villa and a corner lot..My neighbor passed away and his house was very well kept..I can find out if any one is interested... :)

I have always been under the supposition that you either live IN the Villages or you don't !!!
Me !! I live in Chatham and have my own personal train. ;D ;D

Re: I'm curious where the Talk of The Villages members and guests live
 

Maybe I used the wrong words..We have a house in the villages that we visit a few times a year... Not full time yet I hope I used the correct words this time... ::)

Re: I'm curious where the Talk of The Villages members and guests live
 

My sister and I bought in the Villages , Duval,and closed on January 11, 2007. We came back in March and May to buy furniture, fans, and stock a complete household. We live in Hamburg, New York and are still working. We plan on retiring in August of 2008, God willing, and will probably be "Snow Birds" for a few years. I have heard about the vinyl siding problem with Duval homes, so I plan on having it inspected before the year is up. We are coming back for a week in October, then count the days to retirement. Any Duval residents having problems with the vinyl siding? Is the Village Property Management helping to fix these problems? I am curious. Janet and Carol

Re: I'm curious where the Talk of The Villages members and guests live
 

We're in the "younger" Village of Duval. As I travel throughout TV, I definitely get a sense of the difference in various villages. I think the realtors channel people into specific villages. Not exactly stereotyping, more like accommodating. It's a good thing!!
I think the idea of each Village having a page is a good one.
Great, great site here. Keep it up. I support and applaud all of you connected with TOTV

Re: I'm curious where the Talk of The Villages members and guests live
 

oshunluva ...I have no idea what FUMAR means either..I would love to know what that statement means as well...
I do LIVE in the villages on a part time basis!! :agree:

Re: I'm curious where the Talk of The Villages members and guests live
 

JanetandCarol - I too live in Hamburg... over near the SouthShore Golf course in the Marrano countrywoods development.. have done alot of homework on TV and even visited a couple friends who respectively were renting and living in TV. The friend who lives there , lived up here in Williamsville... she's been down there for almost 2 years and loves it... I'm trying to decide whether to buy new or buy resale. Probably will not get down to TV until retirement (4Q08?).... also trying to decide on particular town - I liked Sunset Pointe, Liberty, Duval, area when I was down. Guess I want to be south nearer the more newer golf course (Havana) and the future ones! Have a contact in TV for real estate (Leo) but am trying to find an 'outside realtor' to cover all the bases. (ps - before she passed away my wife owned and operated the Irish Angels Gift Shop (corner Main and Buffalo)... hopefully you had the time to shop there!)...

We live in Orange Blossom Gardens and love on the lake.
We tell people that we live in two Paradises.

Maine in the Summer
The Villages in the Winter
And it doesn't get any better than that

It looks as though furmar put my post in quote , but said nothing. I guess he must feel I should not post here since I live next door. I was under the impression this forum was for all who love The Villages. :dontknow:
Is furmar the forum :cop: ?

Re: I'm curious where the Talk of The Villages members and guests live
 

HMarie...What is that all about? Why is your post in quotes? You didn't say anything wrong...I really don't understand it either! :dontknow:
Donna

Re: I'm curious where the Talk of The Villages members and guests live
 

I don't know Donna, but not gonna worry about fumar. If the housing market gets better anytime, hey we may join all of you in The Villages, but at this point that is not possible.
Have a great day Donna.

Re: I'm curious where the Talk of The Villages members and guests live
 

I sure hope you can move there..Do you have to sell first?

Re: I'm curious where the Talk of The Villages members and guests live
 

We live in a small town in northern Missouri. We're 4 years from retirement and looking at possible retirement areas. Seriously considering TV. We have a son and his family in Panama City, so The Villages would be close but not too close.

Re: I'm curious where the Talk of The Villages members and guests live
 

I too can't wait for my hubby to retire..I am trying to get him to open a Helicopter shuttle from the Villages to orlando airport..Keeping my fingers and toes crossed..

Right now Hatfield PA. We will be coming down to our home in Woodbury in September.

Re: I'm curious where the Talk of The Villages members and guests live
 

We now live in Bridgewater NJ but have a new home in Hadley. Before moving to Bridgewater I lived in Hamburg NY. I see there are several other members on the from Hamburg, not bad for a small town.

Re: I'm curious where the Talk of The Villages members and guests live
 

Hi Ursla and Dick, where did you live in Hamburg? They are tearing down the Brierwood plaza and putting up a super Wal-Mart. We now have "round-a-bouts" in the Village of Hamburg, just like the Villages. Thank God that we are used to using them. We are expecting snow this weekend, welcome to the North. JanetandCarol

Re: I'm curious where the Talk of The Villages members and guests live
 

Judy and I live in the San Francisco Easy Bay city of Union City (about 10 miles south of the Oakland Coliseum where the A's (YEAH) and Raiders (BOO) play).

I plan on retiring at the end of next year and spending winters in the house we bought two years ago in the Village of Stonecrest and summers in the Victorian home that has been in Judy's family since the late 40's on a mountain lake about 3 hrs drive North of San Francisco (thru the Napa Valley). My mother has lived in Orange Blossum Hills for over 15 years and we have visited the area many times since she moved down from the Chicago burbs.

Judy is a Dental Hygienist and will work during the summers in Ca (while I fish - sure!) for a few more years but can't practice in Fla due to license restrictions.

Donna & Roger just moved from Santo Domingo to Alhambra.

Re: I'm curious where the Talk of The Villages members and guests live
 

Right now we live in Michigan.
We have our house on the market and plan to permanently move by 2009.
We have visited three times and plan to visit again next month.
We are still trying to figure out what we want, new or used, house or courtyard villa.
Too many decisions.
We are having a great time looking each time we come down.

Re: I'm curious where the Talk of The Villages members and guests live
 

We live in Franklin, MA. Were in TV last Jan on the lifestyle 6 day program. Seemed very busy & hectic. Coming again Jan. for a month. Still undecided. Have a sailboat. How close to ocean marinas are you? Anyone out there ocean sailors?

Re: I'm curious where the Talk of The Villages members and guests live
 

jbladybnugg - Norton MA here.

I think busy and hectic are the draws in my opinion. I don't think it's the place for Ocean Sailing but you must be 50 miles or so from your boat now by living in Franklin so maybe the 70+ miles to the ocean may not bother you.

Re: I'm curious where the Talk of The Villages members and guests live
 

Hi I'm Brad and my wife is Rose Ann. We are snowbirds roosting in Sabal Chase. We currently live in Louisville, KY where our kids are settled and my wife still works. My sister and I also own a family house on Lake Sunapee, NH. Don't know how much time we'll be spending where but I'm hoping the bulk of it will be in TV. We love it there. My brother-in-law moved to Mallory Square last year and sent us the video. I thought it was the hokiest thing I'd ever seen and swore I'd never live in a place like that. We made a courtesy visit to see their new house, and we fell in love with the place. We bought the same weekend. Just goes to show you...you've got to see this place to believe it!!

Re: I'm curious where the Talk of The Villages members and guests live
 

Tony & Susan from the Shenandoah Valley. Closed on new home end of Oct. in Amelia, it is now getting furnished and setup. Will be down for Thanksgiving weekend, also 1yr wedding Anniversary. :beer3: Can't wait to see it decorated. ;D :2excited:

Will be a bit before we are full time TV'ers but knowing we can come down when we can helps a lot before we are there full time :bigthumbsup:

Re: I'm curious where the Talk of The Villages members and guests live
 

HI, Gary & Pat currently living in Deltona, FL 62 miles east of TV. We are originally from central NY, moved down here 14 years ago. We plan to move to TV when our current situation changes (elderly parents). We visit TV about once a month to visit friends who moved there a couple of years ago. If it wasn't for my parents, I'd live there now and commute to work in Lake Mary.
