I would go back and live in Key Biscayne, Fl., but only if TV didn't exist. At this time in my life I love the ability to use my cart to shop and play.

My choice would have been Charleston SC. We decided to move here after a second visit but found that the homes were over priced and the sales people were telling prospective buyers they had to take a house as they found it.

I told our sales person that my list included and named item by item and if she could not meet those requirements item for item I was going to my second choice Charleston.

If money were not an object, Cap Ferrat. I got lost one night driving around on it about 15 years ago. It is an unspoiled forested peninsula on the Cote d'Azur. The Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild on it is unbelievably well placed and appointed.Cap Ferrat, France: The perfect break - Telegraph I absolutely love French food prepared by French chefs in France, French wines, a sunny, mild climate, trees, flowers, the views from a bluff over a large body of water, sea breezes and not being too far from an airport (Nice in this case).

If The Villages didn't exist, we'd be wintering somewhere on the ocean in Florida. I miss beaches. Maybe St. George Island. We rented there for a month and loved to watch the dolphins swim past.

I love Provincetown, and any beach area on the East Coast in Mass. Also Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia in Canada. Beautiful beaches. But darn cold in the winter. :cold:

I have been maligned for my sincere belief that this has to be the nicest and most beautiful and interesting place to live in the WORLD for seniors.


I hope no one ever changes a single thing about it. It hurts me that people have said I get paid for my overwhelming endorsement of this incredible place to live.


It is still, after almost seven years, unbelievable to me. I have learned so many things about my fellow countrymen and about art, and enjoyed so much golf. And tasted REAL Italian cooking and added 11 short and lovely Italian girls to my group of friends. As well as several other long suffering souls who seem to enjoy my company. I love the casualness of the dress, the beautiful sunshine and gorgeous miles of perfect landscaping. I have heard amazing life stories and am awed by the accomplishments of my peers.


I am a happy girl to be here with all of you. Well most of you.

I would live here: Hang Your Hammock Mexico - Casa Palmeras on Vimeo but after visiting The Villages, we decided to put this house up for sale and brought a house in Village of Collier.

For those of you who mentioned Provincetown, you couldn't touch anything there for what you paid for your home at the villages. In the winter there are only about 2000 people compared to 50,000 during the summer.

The so called Space Coast is close by and Cocoa Beach would be suitable with golf courses, beach and plenty of restaurants. A plus----the prices of homes and condos are rather depressed because our space program has been put on the "back burner.".

Tightwad Mo. Country living at it best.
