Enjoy your move this is a great place to live. Don’t worry about the noise, you might hear some but it isn’t as bad as some have said. Welcome

First thing to know about TV. Probably best to avoid this site. Lots of mean-spirited posts.

We just moved here in December and love it. We’d never been here before we stopped by for a quick look in October. Everyone has been welcoming. Our local curmudgeon even stopped by to say, “Hi.” Welcome to you, too.

Not quite sure why you would do that to someone you've never met.

I do think it's funny how mostly the complainers are people that live north. Deluna is beautiful. I've drive all over the different villages north and south. I live south. Noise doesn't bother me. I like the newer homes and people are great. I have several friends in Deluna and they love it. Don't let negative people take a minute of your time.

We are also here from MA. It’s amazing how big TV actually are and that you will be able to do activities and pools anywhere, you are not confined to your one village as in your old town.
There is a Baystaters Club if you want to meet others that have moved here from MA.

I rode my bike around Deluna the other day, I was surprised how big the village is. I did hear some highway noise in some areas but many areas were very quiet. I found a great bike path with trees, ponds and wildlife.

Welcome! You are going to love The Villages. We bought our house in Hawkins (also in the new area) and had never been to The Villages before. Our only regret we didn’t do it years earlier. We moved from Oregon. We love the west coast but the weather wasn’t allowing us to be active all year. Now, we have more activities than time for them. The great thing about living below 44, is it’s a much younger crowd. There is plenty of wildlife. People share their house camera photos online and there are bears, bobcats, and even a Florida panther in the area. It’s also not as congested as the older areas. Wide open spaces with much larger green belts down here. They are starting construction on the new square (called Eastport) and it will be a New England fishing village from what I’m hearing. It will have a man made lake a mile long that the square sits on, to be used for the dragon boat racing. Give this new area 5 years and it will be absolutely gorgeous. Enjoy!

We be still in Woostah, but a FL panther is way cool! I grew up in smallville MA and there were deer, coyotes, bears, bobcats, turkeys and fisher cats in the neighborhood, so a FL panther is a new welcome pet to have in the neighborhood.

Where in Boston? I'm originally from Revere but spent a lot of time living and working in the Brockton area.
