It really all depends on your Golf Handicap, If you are a low handicapper then you might find that JACKSONVILLE is the perfect place for you,,

no offense

Everyone I talk to seems to feel the neighborhood he lives in is the best. Just pick out the general area which excites you and take the plunge. All the neighborhoods are outstanding.

Oh, Dear new friend.

I was trying to be clever and write like my idol, Boomer. You see that Pturner is right and I was trying to make you see that every one of the 64 villages is just the right place. We all hope you will find the perfect place for you here in Paradise.

Welcome!

The people in our neighborhood have block parties and wave at each other when they are out riding in their golf carts and stop to chat if you meet them walking. There is one grouchy person, but I can't remember who it is. The sunshine is the brightest in my neighborhood and the sky the bluest. The people in my neighborhood in my village have the most beautiful and the smartest children and grandchildren because they told me they did. The people on my street have a wrinkle or too, but boy do they have warm and interesting personalities. We have both both political parties represented in my neighborhood and sometimes people are sick and other people come to visit and bring them meals. The people in my Village are so wonderful and the houses are so lovely and all different inside.

Our neighborhood, our Village is the very best. You will love it.
I was just looking in new members forum for info on how people deal with being so close (we are moving to TV in 2011). We have a rural setting and property and it's the only thing that I am apprehensive about, HOWEVER, I came across this older post from GracieGirl and just melted! You are so insightful and delightful!

the neighborhoods are like children, all special and all charming.

I think the historic side has "old Florida" charm, very affordable, great scenery
North end is close to most shopping, established areas, etc.
South is newer, better infrastructure (my opinion).

We bought in Hemingway, wanted something small and new, close to LSL.
We're happy we're where we are, but appreciate all the neighborhoods.

What's important to you?

Perfect timing and so good to know. We are arriving April 8th for another week of checking out the Villages. We are trying to decide on a new or pre-owned home. Coming from Missouri we are really looking forward to our move to the Villages.

I am very glad to pick up any tips I can. We had so much fun the last time we were there and sure did like the entertainment on the Squares.
