Talk about living in a unique place. Most people know that Florida is home to many retirees from across the country. What’s fast becoming a mecca for the senior set is a full community known as The Villages. The community is an anomaly in this country in that it’s got more than 80,000 residents, is larger than Manhattan, and doesn’t allow anyone under 19 to live there. And no one can live there if there isn’t at least one resident in the home that’s older than 55.
The community was built with seniors in mind. Restaurants, entertainment, and shopping is geared towards a more serene way of life. Most of the residents putter around in golf carts rather than their cars. There’s golf and multiple recreation centers that offers many activities for group participation. And, because it’s a senior community, The Villages also offer many types of health and wellness programs.
And of course there’s housing, pre-owned homes and still lots available for building new homes. There are multiple builders that offer a certain number of home plans to help keep the community balanced, with some homes starting around $225,000. It’s best to contact The Villages directly for questions about living in the area at 800-245-1081.
