Selling in NJ thinking about The Villages
I am sure people see threads like mine a million times " Interested in moving to The Villages..." etc.
Thanks, any suggestions of neighborhoods and groups would be great. I enjoy bicycling (road bike) and more quiet location. Last edited by RamQuadCab; 08-06-2018 at 08:28 AM. |

Visit first either a lifestyle package or rent a home in the off-season. You’re considering moving here I would recommend renting at least a month.
Maybe try different areas we are a large community there are many homes on golf courses but homes are very close together. The type of Gym you’re looking for is not here at this point in time. Closest base would be less than a 2 Hour Drive.

I agree, the best way to see if this is for you is to come down and give it a try.

Trees. Buy one without a Live Oak. They get great big and messy and after they get to a certain diameter they are NOT allowed to be removed. The other trees you will grow to love. They don't shed and many flower. Trading your New Jersey home for one in The Villages. Not likely to happen. Wait until you get here. You will see why people are crazy about this place and moving here in droves. We have a lot of serious and not so serious bicyclists. We have the bentover ones with the uniform and helmets and the straight up wobblies. We have recumbents and incumbents. We have MANY. Horse back riding is available adjacent to The Villages. Haven't seen any IN The Villages. Have you heard about our love for dogs? We do have many, many veterans here and we are collectively very proud of every man and woman who honors us with their presence. We have the largest Veterans club in the country here and check out The Eisenhower Center, one of our dozens of beautiful recreation centers in The Villages. Most of the treasures seen there were donated by families of our veterans. video of eisenhower regional recreation center - Bing video The Villages Outpatient Clinic - North Florida/South Georgia Veterans Health System We have fitness centers in each of regional rec centers and we have a large MVP center adjacent to Brownwood Town Center and one in Spanish Springs town center that is smaller. MVP Athletic Club - The Villages - Brownwood | MVP Sports Clubs Most of us are non smokers. Some do still smoke. There are many opportunities to find a home where smoke will not bother you. Just wait, Mr. Cab until you see this place. It is so beautiful and so well run and I do not work for the developer and I don't sell real estate.. I am a very happy person, living here now for ten years. Hurry down and see for yourself.

What exit are you from? We spent a month here FROM NJ to "test" in Sept 2016. Got home, put our house up for sale, sold it in 1 day and was here the enxt day "homeless" renting again. Found a place in 2 weeks, moved in a week later and been sweating ever since, Best thing we could have done.

People who have a whole list of wants sometimes overlook the important things.
Maybe you should just sell your house, throw out most of your stuff, put the rest in storage, and come to Florida as a free spirit and rent somewhere. Florida has a great variety of places to live, some very nice and others truly horrible. Have fun finding what suits you. |

Addendum to my previous msg: So not to offend some of the residents, yes, there are beautiful and well-built houses in TV; unfortunately they cost nearly twice as much as those outside the TV. I would cite examples but since we are in the market for a house, I am afraid the others will steal our favorites from us. So you are on your own, and good luck.

Moving from NJ
We moved to TV 6 years ago from NJ. I find the only very hot months are July and August. We put a pool in and use it to cool off quickly. Personally, I did look at homes in other communities. There just was not enough to do. We thrive on the active lifestyle and all the classes offered at the Rec Centers. IMO no ther community comes within 30% of all TV has to offer. I think the homes are priced correctly. We have a beautiful home and a great lifestyle.

The market price is the market price. No such thing as a Premium.

Sorry but I do NOT agree the homes are priced correctly, not when compared to those "outside." We have been looking and looking and studying the listings and maps up and down, right and left, and back and forth. |
