Us 14 year PERMANENT residents agree with "the crush" every year Jan to March and more. People with attitude, and so demanding treating the villages like a holiday camp. Please remember that the Town Squares are also OPEN TO ALL, not just Villagers, so that makes for additional crowds as well. TOTV the other day) With the "never ending " building going on it will not get better. The unique way of life here is no more. So maybe snow birds should "stagger" their visits, for everyone's benefit.
There are lovely places in Florida to visit, and sometimes its good to "get out of the bubble", and see real animals !!!!!!!!!!! With our bird population decreased so much in the time we have been here, we need to get out and find them again. |

Not sure where they moved but we live in the north end and we go out of the Villages for hair, docs and some appointments. We usually head toward Bellview. The section north may be older but what we like about it so less congestion.

It seems that more and more people are moving to Florida, in general. I've done a lot of research on the Florida retirement communities and The Villages always comes up as having the most to offer as far as activities, clubs, golf courses, shopping, entertainment. I think that I would be most happy having a wide variety of things to do. From a longer term standpoint, I think that we would be best off having medical, dental, grocery stores, hair salons, etc a short drive (or walk or shuttle) away.

Always sad to leave the beautiful Chesapeake Bay to come to TVs. Always sad leaving TVs heading back to the bay.
Life is hard, but fun! |

Check Harbor Hills. Upscale homes. It's not the villages but close by.

Thank you for posting this. Nice looking place and beautiful homes. Larger lots than those I see in TV.

I am excited when I read the plans for The Villages expansion that we all can enjoy.
Crowds don't affect my daily life within our village. In almost 13 years, I rarely experienced long waits for services and restaurants- maybe lines for pickleball in March. But that goes away. Traffic- are you kidding? With the roundabouts, there is rarely a back-up. Someone mentioned decreased bird life. in The Villages. We have had over a hundred pelicans and the same number of cormorants on the water behind us for the past several days. While the pelicans are migratory, we have a variety of ducks, ibis, egrets, and herons on a daily basis with the occasional wood stork. We love it here. I said I would live here even if I won the lottery - albeit with a beach house also.

ME TOO. I love that the homes have small yards, so much less to have maintained even though grass cutting here is low compared with up north. REALLY LOW. I love that as the developer builds he first builds the amenities, the golf courses, pools, recreational centers and green spaces along the major streets. I love that things are maintained and repainted in the common areas and that even though they keep building, they keep building in green spaces, very unlike any other neighborhoods I have ever lived in and I have lived in some nice ones. And another thing...folks are older and have seen and lived through a lot, which makes MOST of them compassionate and open minded and SOME of them grouchy and negative. I have lived here since 2007 and it just keeps getting better and better, and my dear husband completely agrees.

Homefinder - The Villages(R) Homes and Villas for Sale Homefinder - The Villages(R) Homes and Villas for Sale Most people buy the catagory here, called Designer Homes. NO. I don't sell real estate. Living here is more than a house, it's all of the opportunities to do what you love to do. I have become much better at my painting since sharing space in classes and clubs with immensely skilled artists. I was surprised to see that there are very few designer homes listed right now. They must be selling fast. This one above is a little more expensive than most.

We are probably three years out from a decision on staying here in south Louisiana (similar weather to central FL) or moving to an active 55+ community. We are leaning hard toward TV right now. Thanks to all the folks who posted such good responses!! These are very helpful.

Crowds??? In the Winter from Snowbirds??? I am a Homeowner and Snow birder. I am from Long Island, NY. I have heard people saying it's gets crowded and there is more traffic in the winter months when the snow birders come. If you are from NY, NJ, CT you will not think there is any traffic or crowding.
