My husband and I built in 2011, I was 52 he was 55 and there were 82,000 residents. We wanted to move to Florida after retirement, but didn’t know where to go. We had a couple of people we had worked with who had moved to The Villages so we did the Lifestyle’s for a week. We had no intention of building, but we bought a lot. We moved in December 2011.
Unfortunately, my husband was battling cancer and I lost him in 2014. I felt I needed a change, too many memories of US. I moved to Lakewood Ranch in 2020.
I’m now 66 and moving back, I totally enjoyed Lakewood Ranch, but if I hadn’t previously lived in The Villages I wouldn’t have appreciated all The Villages had to offer…
