Why would anyone move to Florida if they didn't want to live in warm weather?

Last summer we spent about 3 weeks in upstate NY, Ohio and West Virginia. It was hot there too and not everybody had whole house air conditioning. All places we stayed at did but then we would go visit people we knew and they didn't. It was hot. Would have been better to stay at home.

Having central air conditioning with reasonable electric costs is wonderful.

I live in a CYV community in Tamarind Grove, fairly new it was built in spring 2011 and sold out by July. It was built right after Buttonwood and right before St. James. We have 13 CYV's on my street and 3 are snowbirds and all have left for the summer. We have 10 occupied villas year round, so the snowbirds are only about 20% on our street.

When I visit in a couple of weeks I got a feeling I may be overwhelmed by the shear size of TV. One of TV realtors is going to show me around. I know for sure I want a two bedroom with garage and screen in lanai. As far as living in FL year round, I'm all for it. I just can't take the cold weather up here anymore.

Don't approach your visit looking at The Villages as this huge behemouth. We all live in Villages and all have access to amenities, shopping and food (did I mention food). It's no different than any city, you live in one area and only occassionaly visit other areas. Example, we live in Hillsboroug. We have 3 Championship courses, 1 Regional Rec Center, 3 Neighborhood rec centers and 4 Adult pools within 10 minutes by cart. Brownwood is 8 minutes and that's movies restuaraunts and shopping. Winn Dixie and Publix take care of food shopping. We are 20 minuts from Lake Sumpter Landing (by cart). Anything north of Sumter is for the Savannah Center or The Sharon to see shows. Don't try and think you need to have access to the entire Villages, you don't.

I informed her that as we get older, you won't jump out of bed saying, "oh great, I get to clean this big house again". BTW - Being from NY and CT, I don't miss the winters at all. Last winter before moving here, (2012), was hurricane Sandy and we had 3 feet of snow in one snowfall.

My brother-in-law worked there and my father was on the Revere Police Dept and worked a lot of details at the track.
When I do go back I do a few things. First I must go to the beach. Then I get a roast beef at Kelley's and then go to dinner at DeMaino's.
