After a year of research watching every youtube about villages, here we come! We close on our home mid March near Citris Grove. Can't wait to meet everyone! I'm retired but my husband Patrick will continue to work from home. We would love suggestions on what internet provider ( we currently use tmobile home and understand that can be spotty in our area) and best place to buy furniture! Thanks and hugs to y'all!

Welcome

Many people express problems with city furniture

There are several used furniture stores in the area that may offer better value than some of the new furniture stores. If you have the time you may want to look these stores first to get an idea what is available and what suits YOUR style.

Better furniture prices OUTSIDE of the Villages. Refrain from the need to advertise you are a Villager. Once they have that information, they will charge you more with add-ons for delivery and then some. I've seen it happen, many times.

Welcome to The Villages. My husband and I have lived here for 18 years and love it. I would go to the furniture stores in Leesburg on 441. We have Comcast/Xfinity for our computer, phone, and TV and we like it. We never have issues. You will enjoy living close to the ocean side and Gulf side. We go on mini-trips to the beach. I switched to Consumer Cellular and love it. They have two stores in The Villages. You will meet some wonderful people here.

Welcome! We’ve been here only two years and love it. Bought an older house furnished but did buy new bedroom furniture from City Furniture. Our experience was good especially as we were buying back when supply chain issues were so bad. They actually had what we wanted in stock. Service was top notch, friendly. We thought the price was a bit high. But back then having what we wanted in stock was priceless. If this happened today, I think I’d shop around.

NEAR Citrus Grove? I lived there and moved to Newell a year later. If in Newell, I admin the FB page there (graphic has the Postal Station). Good orientation info there. Whatever Village you are in, this is a valuable resource. I have Verizon for phone and XFinity for internet/TV. Expensive but never had an outage.

Welcome!

We use Spectrum for internet and cell phones and have no problems with either. They use Verizon towers so coverage is good.

As far as furniture we used Rooms To Go for most of our new furniture. Bought a few accent pieces at At Home in Clermont, or various used furniture stores but I do t particularly like used furniture for upholstered pieces.

Enjoy.

I don’t know where you came from that taxes and traffic were better but sounds like you should go back!

Congratulations for your upcoming move to active retirement heaven. I'm very happy with Xfinity for internet, and Tracfone for cell service.
You can find very good deals for slightly used furniture on Facebook Marketplace or here on TOTV's buy and sell section.
Don't be put off by a few VERY NEGATIVE CURMUDGEONS on this website. Just put them on your "IGNORE" list and enjoy the rest of your experience.
All the best to you.
