The Villages App
I just have a lot as of now, in Citrus Grove (construction starting soon). I wanted to see how long it would take me to get there by golf cart, I entered the address into The Villages App hit directions for golf cart and it found my new address. Oh 1 hour 23 min, looks like a pit stop for lunch at Fiesta Grande in Colony Plaza.

Usps
We set up a PO Box at the Wildwood Post Office to forward all mail until we closed escrow. Once we closed escrow our street address was recognized by the USPS and we closed the PO Box, and put a forwarding order on it to our new street address.
Don’t use Google maps for navigation. They are way behind and it actual sends people to our street address in Leesburg (happen to two vendors). Warn vendors you use of this issue, and have them download the Waze map app and your street address will work. However, you have to say Wildwood, FL instead of The Villages…but it works. |

In my last neighborhood I added the streets to Google Maps. It solved my problem including getting on NextDoor.

Address
Been here a year in Linden.. Officially The Villages is our city.. We still tell friends to put Wildwood for the city not The Villages in Google or Waze or they will not find us.

Finding new Address
Quote:
Having moved many times during military service, we always get a PO Box for a year and did same here. The clerk gave us the address for receiving boxes from Amazon etc since many vendors won't ship to PO Boxes and it worked like a charm. A year allows time to sort out what we want to keep and discard the trash. Joan |

Get Waze app
Get off of Google Maps they are behind the times. Closed in April and Google maps still can't find my address on Waterman. The Waze app is far better and you will find all the new roads.

Put in your change of address online with the effective date of your closing. Worked great for me.

I moved to Fenny which was opened years before I got here and it took a very long time for the nail to work. I still get wrong mail years later. It still comes up as wildwood

Use the USPS web site to enter your change of address. You need a credit card to do it. If it doesn't recognize The Villages as your city, try Wildwood. One or the other should work to enter your official change of address.

Citrus Grove Mail
We closed on our home 6/15 and was the first resident on our street. We didn’t have a problem with our mail but Comcast did not recognize our address and said they did not service this area. We explained they are listed as a supplier in our welcome packet but they kept insisting our zip code was wrong and it could take 4 to 6 weeks so we called Spectrum and they hooked up our service that evening. We just got our first new neighbor and they got Comcast so they finally did find their way into our neighborhood.
Waze was the only GPS that found our new home. |

The address of the home must appear somewhere. I cannot believe that the contract you signed when you made the decision doesn't show the address. The same for the mortgage company, the lawyers handling the closing, etc.
