old people need lovin too...don’t judge....
Smart people retire some place cheap
Very cute and amusing! Thanks for posting from a Senior Freeper.
Sounds like Del Boca Vista Phase 2
We went to visit my mom and her husband a few weeks ago. They live in a non-golf senior community about 10 miles from the Villages.
Just for kicks, we drove over to The Villages. It was absolutely insane. Kind of like Disney for old people. Everything seemed contrived and programmed. The golf cart fashion show was equally nuts.
My mom’s place has tennis, bocce and pools. No golf course. The Villages has something like 40 courses. The best part of my mom’s place was the shop. They have a 5000 square foot shop full of all sorts of machine and hand tools for woodworking, metal craft etc.
It’s what sold her husband on the place. I could see myself living there in a few years.
THE Villages. Highest STD rate in the country, supposedly.
I retired and moved to Wisconsin. I am not the only one here. Lots of people who moved up here. Its cheap, its beautiful. I watch the sunrise every morning over Lake Michigan. 70% voted for Trump. They are very nice up here. No litter, graffiti, very little crime. Don’t need to wear a mask if you don’t want to. I did shovel my drive way today. But you can think of it as an exercise class.
We've have texted several times since she moved there and she said she is doing a tremendous business with the old guys in the Villages. She can hardly keep up with the demand she says. She has made enough money in just over two years to buy her own small home for cash.
I guess there are plenty of frisky old ladies who live there but there are apparently plenty of old frisky gentlemen too with money burning a hole in their pockets.
Flossing Rocks!!!!
I could definitely go for a “dedicated flosser” if he also enjoyed working out. At the gym.
Not funny! ;-)
Every time I watch the Del Webb commercial, I’m ready to pack and move. Those places look awesome and the homes are beautiful.
LOL, funny.
Ok, thanks for the laugh
Well, good for them, but from what I’ve read and been told about this place, it creeps me out a bit. Its like if a cruise ship was a city.

I have heard of people retiring and moving south to the villages and then, a couple of years later, moving back north because they miss family and friends...
Screw at your own risk.......LOL!
Outstanding!

America’s seniors have discovered the fountain of youth. It’s in The Villages, FL. With #SomeKindOfHeaven, first-time feature director Lance Oppenheim cracks the manicured facade of The Villages, America’s largest retirement community – a massive, self-contained utopia located in Central Florida. Behind the gates of this palm tree-lined fantasyland, SOME KIND OF HEAVEN invests in the dreams and desires of a small group of Villages residents – and one interloper – who are unable to find happiness within the community’s pre-packaged paradise. With strikingly composed cinematography, this candy-coloured documentary offers a tender and surreal look at the never-ending quest for finding meaning and love in life’s final act.
