Sorry but I do NOT agree the homes are priced correctly, not when compared to those "outside." We have been looking and looking and studying the listings and maps up and down, right and left, and back and forth.

I understand there are some very large and nice homes available at extremely low prices in some Detroit neighborhoods. For some reason homes here are often selling in a week or less.

One nice thing about living in our community is that you can or don’t have to participate in any activity. When people are new residents, they might be extremely busy, doing things they’ve wanted to try, joining groups, clubs, meeting new friends. After a while, the whirlwind socializing and activity level slows and one becomes more selective in just what they wish to do or not do. In addition to clubs, many here volunteer....at the hospital, at schools, etc. Summers can be long and warm, but air conditioning keeps your home and rec. centers, shops, movie theaters...comfortable. We adjust to the enviroment...just as those who live in cooler climes do in winter. There are many homes with landscaping that may suit you...all villages are nice, you just have to decide if you want to be close to a rec center, businesses, doctors’ offices. Actually, individual villages are pretty quiet, day and night...and coming home is relaxing...well, most of the time. New homeowners might decide to change or upgrade a few things and peace might be disturbed for just a bit. The community is large, but feels like a small town in each village. We’ve been here 12 years and even though the community has expanded and expanded, it still feels just as comfortable as it did when we first moved in.

There are VA Hospitals in Orlando, Gainesville, Tampa, St Pete, Bay Pines. As well as other cities in Florida. There is an outpatient clinic in The Villages.

One thing to consider is the size of the garages available and any vehicles youmay bring with you.

There is no substitute for 'boots on the ground'.

Plenty of fun videos on Youtube to watch until you're here.

But all the words and pictures in the world don't do this place justice.

I like this village of Bonita a lot. (between the sixes)

This is a lovely home with hardwood floors and a decent size. About 1700 sq. fit.

NO. It isn't mine and I don't know who it belongs to. Just went looking;

Homefinder - The Villages(R) Homes and Villas for Sale

Just offering my 2 cents.......

When purchasing, don't forget to consider whether your neighbors are year-round or snowbird residents. A street can be pretty lonely if/when neighbors fly back to their northern nests!

Also - avoiding any distractions from neighbors can be difficult to ascertain when just renting for a limited amount of time since all such behavior may not be demonstrated during that visit.

While I am not a fan of live oak trees, it is well to remember that tall trees are Mother Nature's way of providing cooling shade over one's home; thus reducing the strain on air conditioners.
