I live in Tampa, my mom moved to The Villages and hated it
The Villages are pretty much in the middle of nowhere and if you enjoy doing things besides golf and playing poker with a bunch of other retires you will hate it as well
Tampa is 2 hours away. Orlando is about the same
There are some great retirement communities a lot closer to Tampa or other major cities
Just my humble opinion
“The Villages are pretty much in the middle of nowhere and if you enjoy doing things besides golf and playing poker with a bunch of other retires you will hate it as well”
These are two of three things I most like to do! And I want to do them everyday for the rest of my life. =) Maybe every other day for the other one.
We visited down there several times, have friends there and know what its about.
