Anyone have any ideas ?
Also where is the best place to live in the Villages ? A place that is
centrally located to all the shops, entertainment , restaurants etc.

And I am single and looking for a Girlfriend !

Hang out at City Fire for the girlfriend? LOL...I'm usually nice, but we are in for another several days of cloudy weather. Floridians aren't used to cloudy spells.
Ewww. Overcast for 2 weeks is nasty. Nevertheless, laundry and redbox and a porterhouse....not a bad day.

You need to visit to check it out.

For me, the motivating factors were getting out of the cold/snowy winters. and the lifestyle offered in TV. What is the point of saving money, at this point in one's life, when you can enjoy the life of a millionaire, but not pay millionaire prices. After all, we are all looking downhill.

TV has to be seen, as no amount of words, can fully describe it. IMHO

There are pre-owned homes with little or no bond. If you want new, add the bond onto the price, of your home. With a new home, you won't get mature landscaping, but will avoid doing any repairs for several years.
