If you can tolerate the HOA.

And costly! I have a sister down there. Says that unless you can fork out over $4,000 a month to forget moving to FL.

The Villages, Florida. No better place to retire.

The 2020 census shows that The Villages, Florida is 95.32% White, so it's likely a pretty safe place.

But to properly afford retirement in The Villages of Florida, you would have had to retire there twenty years ago. Actually pretty near the same all over Florida. Food is relatively cheap as well, but then they make up all the slack in insurance rates and now, more than before, property taxation, as average home values have tripled or more over that span of time, through the inflation that has been inflicted on everybody. The mill rate of ad valorem taxes has NOT significantly decreased. It just costs more to run counties these days.
