My brother and SIL have been here since 2004 and my sister bought a seasonal home in 2018 when I moved here. Just knowing my siblings are only a mile away is comforting.

I made the mistake of moving here thinking I’d see my sister more and I actually see it hear from her less. She’s sick all the time from allergies the weather and the crazy doctors !
I’m going to sell move up north where the AC isn’t on 10 months of the year ! She won’t even notice

[EviesGP]

Yes, uncle/aunt. Possibly a sister and BIL next?

We moved here first and my parents followed. Hubby has 1 sibling and 2 nieces near Orlando, so all family that matters is in Florida. My siblings live 1200 miles away which is a good thing. LOL!

That's a shame (that she is not well and that you don't see her much). I have a large family but I haven't lived near my siblings most of my adult life. I am very happy to be near Sissy and one of my brothers these days. Hoping to get more of the fam to come down!

Parents still coming down for winters. I just bought a place this year and my sister the year before. My brother is considering as well...

[Stu from NYC]

Not at this time but think that might change in a few years

My family in VA love TVs, but they won't leave the beautiful Chesapeake Bay. But they love to come visit!

[Foxtrot]

Yes, my Niece who is one day older than me moved here a couple of years before me. It's the reason I'm here.

[Henryk]

My brother just bought unseen, except for facetime.

[Craig Vernon]

Thank you for all the great answers. It would seem to me that the Villages would be a great place to spend with family along with all the new friends. I hope my story goes along the lines of having my brother and sister living nearby in the Villages, of course. Enjoy!

Even though Constance & I purchased our house three months before my brother Ted, he beat me to the punch on putting his sign up before us. His house is seven houses away on the same street.

yes, two first cousins
