Does anyone live in The Villages, FL
I'm flying to Florida next week to look at houses at The Villages. I'd like any information anyone might have about the life style there and what ever else you can share with me.

anyone i've ever heard of living there just Loves it! i wanted to move there myself, but just couldn't leave my family up here. you can ride your golf cart to walmart, publix, and restaurants.

We live here for the lifestyle! We have been here 18 years! Love it!
Just remember March is the busiest month in FL. Visitors, renters and spring break grandchildren! Enjoy your visit! |
don't live there, but a lot of people in my community live there as well. We have every amenity, and the Villages have even more. Like an on site pharmacy. We don't have that. Everyone loves it down there. they are our snowbirds that live there. You'll love it there. If my dh wasn't young and working, we'd move there. Have a blast!!!

just had a friend move there she loves it says so much to do!!!

Same as Lynnie, my hubster wants to move there, but he's too young! His parents live there, and we are visiting her again on the 13th. They have activities around the various town squares, like dancing nightly, and vendor setups weekly. You don't need a car because everything you need is accessible by golf cart, although the houses have garages and most people have cars.

I've tried to answer this positively and cancelled my response 4 times. Just be sure to check it out thoroughly, including any covenants, deed restrictions, etc., before putting your name on anything. Bring your money. The locals like it. Also, make sure you like people around you 24/7. It is a wonderful place for people from the North who move South.

The gal(Linda) that taught the quilting classes I took back in 2011 is now there. My quilting mentor(Lola) just visited there in Feb. they had a quilt show/event during her time there. I am going to make a safe assumption that Quilting and golf are popular activities.

Thank you all for your input, very helpful. Copal, we were reading the restrictions last night on the website. A few questionable things came up that might be deal breakers. Yes it is congested but so is California. Traffic is so bad that we don't go out after 2:00 because that's when school gets out then the rush hour traffic begins.
