If, you think you understand your wife, you are wrong. Even if you are right, it will change shortly. From me If, you care about what other people think such as my Village is better than yours. First you give them power that should be yours. Secondly, they were the same in elementary school Borrowed from a Villages friend, they do not get better as they age, they get worse. DON'T WORRY BE HAPPY. |

Yes I do, I grew up on rivers and ponds in the northwest, but now I seem to spend more time in the salt. I do try to get up to Alaska at least once a year where I split my time between salt and freshwater.

HOW about Bonnybrook # 37 or Ashland # 39. I recently purchased in Ashland and love the location. 2.7 mile to Sumter Landing. 1.7 miles to Wedgewood Lane where there is so many stores. Publix, Ace Hardware, Walmart etc. etc. In the other direction heading south there's a Winn Dixie, Sumter Landing, and Brownwood maybe 8.5 miles away. Check out Whispering Oaks winery 6.5 miles away. Everyday I am enjoying TV more and more. The more I am venturing out the more I am loving this place. TV is awesome.

Reasoning Supporting Winifred Village
You will be 5 minutes from Shopping Center, Banks, Restaurants, Hardware Store, Wallgreens, Walmark, Auto Store, Next door to a major Rec Center and golf course and driving range and Golf Center Restaurant plus other stuff but this is a start. That
is why Winifred is terrific location. Before the nuts fall out of trees and attack the 5 minutes time, it may be as high as 10 minutes in a couple of cases but who cares for another 5 minutes. |

It seems that this is becoming a contest. All areas of TV are great. The reasons vary. People make choices based on their personal criteria, as it should be. No reason to claim that other areas are not as good.

Welcome Home to both of you. You have no idea what a great choice you made to move here to lower Paradise.
As for being in your fifties....I once thought that age didn't matter here in The Villages but now that I am 81, (which happened VERY quickly while having fun) I can see that it does. I do not want to roller skate with you but we will welcome you and give you coffee and snacks (or a cold beer) and enjoy listening to you telling us of all of the adventures of your life before you arrived here. You are just gonna love this place. Don't discount us olders. We are quite nice and fun to be around.

Reading everyone rave about being in the middle of everything has driven me to my first post here.
I’ve been “in the middle of everything” for the last 30+ years and I’ve had enough. For my coming retirement, The Villages is currently my plan B. Plan A is renting an out building on Kanye West’s Wyoming ranch. For the Villages the new areas down south are what appeal to me. If I were to buy right now I’d probably go with Bradford. Small and quiet but near enough to activities I’m interested in. For shopping it’s just the grocery store once or twice a week, Costco once a month and Home Depot/Lowes occasionally. Everything else I can get online. For recreation it’s USPSA pistol matches in Clearwater once a week, Archery once a week and the standard Villager activities: Biking, Golf, Softball, Pickleball, Orgies, etc. None of which have to be within walking distance. I have no interest in the Town Squares. In fact, I’ll be leaving my family strict instructions. If they ever hear of me line dancing they are to immediately dispatch Seal Team 6 for an emergency extraction. I’ve read that the typical Villager buys 2-3 houses. Maybe I’ll end up buying further and further south as time goes on. I’m pretty sure I’m going to have a hard time adjusting to all the friendliness. Joining the social group for sarcastic and cynical north-easterners might help though. You do have one of those groups, right? |

Big exception, they already have an existing 27 hole golf course, and Lopez is one of the best and most beautiful in the TV. It's also only one of the three courses that have a driving range. You have a Publix Shopping Center and you are within 10 to 15 minutes by cart Glenview Country Club and the Saddlebrook Softball Complex and the Polo Fields where more than polo goes on, RC airplanes, kite flying, all types of clubs and many times special events, and none involve line dancing. Did I forget the Savannah Center, the 840 seat theater where many of the shows go on during normal times. Last show I attended was Molly Hatchet last January, I like southern rock. So if you decide not to build but to buy a resale, then take a look at the north end of the TV, the trip along Buena Vista north of the Polo Fields is like nothing else. Remember, whatever you do, don't buy a golf cart and drive it to the square. |
