Smile What's the Number 1 thing you LOVE about The Villages

I was reading posts and I noticed there were 941 replies to what you don't like about The Villages. I'd like to know what is the Number 1 thing you LOVE MOST about The Villages. I'll start. Mine is I get to LIVE there. 6 weeks to go.

All the fun, interesting and educational things to do without having to leave TV and go to some other town/city where you'd pay to do all these things, at a hefty price for lesser quality/quantity/variety.

I would say all the musical entertainment and many other things to do, especially the large number of hobby club activities.

The cleanliness, the fresh paintedness, the kept up with things look, the beauty and whimsy of the place and the flowers and trees and plants and the beautiful people, inside and out.

I agree with Graciegirl, TV has the most beautiful landscaping and I get choked up every time we drive into the property. We can't wait to become permanent residents.

It's too hard to pick just one thing. There are several things I love about TV that are all equal in importance to me. So I'll just throw out the one thing that I especially love this time of year: I'm not bummed out that winter is coming. Hopefully we will have another mild winter, but even if we don't, the "cold" won't last long and it will have very little effect on my daily activities.

I love reading all of the posts in TOTV of people who are so excited about reaching a milestone in getting to TV. Whether it's selling where they are, getting a design date, starting construction, or MOVING IN. You can just feel their joy and enthusiasm in what they write.
(wish my _____ house would sell)

Extreme organization, the layout/master plan, # of activities, learning ctr.

The cost of living is very reasonable, we also feel that if we change our minds in few years we can sell out fast with the demand in this market, as in low investment risk.

The fact you can buy here for as low as 60K to an average of 200K.

The build time of 60-70 days is amazing.

This forum is a factor also.

Good neighbors.

Old neighbors in Palm Harbor, FL-- at least on one side-- were tenants of a criminal defense lawyer. So, we got the Coast Guard helicopter pilot who buzzed the house looking for men looking for love in all the wrong places; the pit bull trainer/breeder who dragged his pits outside to get them to run and brought the animal rights activists to our street; the fugitives from some kind of pyramid scheme victims; etc.

It looks like you got, and enjoy, "normal" neighbors here!

The Question was what ONE thing……..
My answer, the display of pride of ownership is second to none and is displayed in all villages.
