Nothing feels better than removing a NJ auto inspection sticker from your windshield and not paying any state income tax. Another plus is not having to worry about small town cops having to meet their ticket quota
Anything you can do in NJ--you can do here honestly we're living for free here compared to the tax and insurance load in NJ |

I am from NY and moved from CT. Several reasons to move here are:
1. No snow. 2. No state taxes. 3. House taxes are significantly less and usually go down a little bit every year. That is not a misprint. I was paying $4400 a year in CT, for a 920 sq ft condo and I pay about $1100 for a patio villa in TV. 4. TV is kept in immaculate condition. I agree with people that pictures don't do this place justice. One needs to visit to see for themselves. Most people I've talked to, think you are full of stuff, until they visit here. It's a feeling you get being in TV and it's friendly people. BTW - Did I mention this is no snow here. You don't have to shovel sunshine.

We bought in TV in 2007 and have never regretted it. We are seasonal residents so can't comment on the summers. We can hardly wait to return each year to our winter home.

Here’s my take and I’ll repeat what one poster already wrote. Rent a place for a month or 2, that’s what my wife and I did. WE had a winter home in Ocala and the 55+ community there was just to quiet for our taste, we sold it and decided to rent a home in the Villages. WE had been to TV in the past many times driving the 20 miles south of Ocala where our home was to have dinner at Lake Sumter Landing. We really didn’t think we’d like TV but we had to give it a try. The first week we rented in the Villages we thought, this place is too busy for our taste...............fast forward 2 weeks later we drank the so called “kook aid,” fell in love with the community. Rather than renting during the winter of 2019 we decided to start looking for a place to buy. My wife could not be with me at the time so I did a 4 day “life style preview”, mainly to look at a number of homes that had interested us. My suggestion come to TV and take the life style tour preview. The Courtyard Villa we liked became available, we purchased and we closed in late June.

Thanks for all the great information. I keep busy with exercising and really do not go out at night after dark. I am usually home by, at the latest 7PM. I might, on a rare occasion, venture out around 8pm for something to eat or etc, but basically do not drive at night.

Yes, I need the double garage wide door. 8 foot door is good, but 7 foot works. Mine is not an SUV, but needs 7 foot clearance at least. I prefer the one big door double garage, as opposed to the two single double garage doors. I see many have a small door for the golf carts. It is good to know they have an outpatient clinic there. DO they do any routine surgeries and stuff there, or is all of that at the main hosp? Here the OP clinics are very limited only to doctors visits. All specialty care is 75 miles away at the main hosp.

Thanks for the tips. I am allergic to trees and prefer the open air breezes. I like the heat and often do not run air. However, they say I need to or the humidity gets high in the house. The only reason I would run it at 78. Yes, sometimes it is nice to have to stay cool either middle of the day, or sleeping, but I am the one riding the bike mid day in 90's degrees 20 miles. Although, I know from living in FL before, I need UVA/UVB bike clothing since it is tropical sun and will burn through regular clothes.

You mentioned you are allergic to tobacco smoke. I am as well and found that to be a problem in The Villages. People smoked outdoors at restaurants and on CC patios. Very unpleasant.

I don't need to be in the heat of it all, but I like to be close to the main road, not backed up to eat for sleeping, but close for easy in easy out to the main highways and roads. I need to be near a Publix, Dollar Tree, and Walmart. LOL that's all the stores I go to, the rest is Amazon.

Neighboring Delaware has taxes like that (800 to 1400) but here in Jersey it is 5800 a year or more. Rarely much less. I like immaculate well manicured lawns. I do not do yard work.

Well, the last time I was there I had to deal with more environmental tobacco smoke in three weeks than I deal with in a year in Newport Beach!
