We just did the "Lifestyle Visit" for five days and returned home on 3/24. It's looking like The Villages is the place for us. We had a great time. The Lifestyle plan is well done and it enabled us to really get lots of information about living there. We even met friends there who have already moved to TV. All we have to do now is.......sell the house.

Talking Me Wannabee.......

I've been hanging out at TOTV for a little over one year and plan on visiting for my first Lifestyle Preview in the near or far future. It would be my pleasure to meet (in person) all the TOTVers who have befriended me

Default Wanna Be - You Bet!

Came to visit friends over Christmas in 2005, Thought, This place is something special! - bought our house five minutes after it was released to Sales on New Years Eve in 2007, closed in Jan 08
will move there full time in 2 years, 10 months and 5 days, but I am not counting,
In the meanwhile I have to just accept the fun weeks we squeeze in occasionally - I can't wait to get there - sounds like I have a bunch of GREAT neighbors in Hadley - see ya'll in April - I'll be the one driving the Tar Heel Blue cart with the big UNC logo on the front - GO HEELS!!!!
Whoooooo!

Smile TV Wanna Be

I discovered The Villages about 2 and 1/2 years ago. I've been down on 2 lifestyle previews. Fell in love with it the first trip. Everyone is so friendly. Hopefully I will be able to move from the frozen north next year. Like most people, it will be hard to move away from my children and grandchildren, but I know it's where I want to spend the rest of my life. It feels right and I know I will be happy there. I just hope the real estate market picks up by the time I am ready to make the move.

I've been poking around TOTV for about 2 years. What a great source of information. What an incredible way to meet people. Everyone is so caring and welcoming. You do a fantastic job! Thank you so much!

With any luck, my next visit will be to buy my next home! Can't Wait!!! In the meantime I will live vicariously thru all the posts on TOTV! I feel like I know you all even though we haven't met yet!

Default Me too, me too...

Three years, if all goes according to plan! Will rent for the first winter and probably buy after we know in which Village we really want to be. Like most everyone else, we have to sell a home "up North" first.

I think it will be the new Brownwood section by the time I buy (unless I buy used of course) 2011 or 12 is the latest time frame.

I plan to work (RN) full-time in TV for the first 5-7 years I'm there and then cut back when I reach 60 or 62.
