We were very very close to moving to The Lakes of Mount Dora. Love quaint Mount Dora which is arty farty.
Glad we are not that far from it!

Venice FL. My parents wintered there and I looked at real estate there for 25 years before we happily discovered The Villages.

Either Margaritaville or the island of Curacao.

We had a laundry list of retirement places starting around North Carolina and heading South. After a couple of trips to TV we bought as nothing else compares. If you can afford it rent before you buy elsewhere as the grass is always greener.

Did not look a lot before moving here last year, but if rec center activities and entertainment dont open up soon, will definitely be looking.

Since retiring early and no hurry to sell my current home or make a permanent move to an active adult co9mmunity I have taken some time to rent or stay with friends in a few active adult communities I have been considering including Margaritaville, Citrus Hills and On Top of The World. In all the communities I have been considering I have spent a minimum of 6 months in each. I left The Villages (TV) as the final option since it’s the largest and I figured it will take the longest time to get an accurate feeling of the community, so I have a year lease.
Although I have only been in TV for a couple of months, I am not overly optimistic at this point if TV will be my final choice, reasons I will save for another discussion.

If there was no TV, from the three communities I have been to so far, neither of them I would consider as a permanent place to call home, I would just stay where I am today and travel whenever I wanted.
