Welcome to paradise. You will love it here. We just moved here in March and live in the Village of Hawkins, also close to the parkway. The noise is a non-issue for us and I haven’t yet met anyone who actually lives down here who has complained to me. There are some people on this site who seem to be making a second career out of talking about the noise down south, and most of them live nowhere near here, but they heard it from a friend, who heard it from a friend…… You get the picture.
The southern end of the Villages is growing in very exciting ways. Moving here is one of the best things we have ever done. Don’t listen to the nay-sayers. Just prepare yourself to enjoy your home, the weather, and this amazing lifestyle.

If you can handle that, you'll be fine.

Welcome home. There is so much to see and do here, plus the weather is awesome. You’re gonna love it here.

You made a great decision. We are from RI and love it here! You will love the walking trails, activities, and the friendly neighbors.
Welcome to The Villages from the Village of St. Catherine.

Welcome! If you visit this forum often enough, you will discover there are some regulars, a dozen or more, who love to talk trash and complain. You could buy them lunch at Havana, and give them a $25 gift card to Lowe's. The next day, you might see their post complaining about the free lunch, and that they can't use the Lowe's gift card because they won't drive that far south! In other words...pay no attention to those trying to throw negative waves on your choices. Life in The Villages all about what you make of it. For me, it starts with avoiding negative people. Enjoy the adventure!

Although we are not in DeLuna, we bought out house sight unseen also. You will love it here. Welcome!

The DeLuna area is a great place to live with a lot of green space/trails. Folks tend to find what they are looking for, good or bad.

The one's that live near a waterfall are tell you something listen to their roars and transparency of the life at the Villages.

Best place ever. Don’t listen to the naysayers! Incidentally, the houses are well soundproofed should you be next to a passing road. Come on down and join the fun!

Where are you from in MA? We moved down 12 years ago and live in Pennecamp. Best thing we ever did. We came down via Rt 95 to Rt 287 to Rt 78 to Rt 81 to Rt 77 to Rt 26 to Rt 95 to Rt 10 to Rt 75 to Rt 44. Go to AAA and they'll route it for you. This way we avoided the big cities and a lot of traffic and thru the Shenandoah Valley was beautiful. A lot of nice clean rest areas this way. My husband grew up in Quincy and I grew up in Somerville but we lived in Attleboro for 33 years. You will enjoy it here.....NO SNOW!
