The Villages, FL (at Lady Lake)

I'm pretty sure my opinion will be in the minority here since my interests are more cultural and intellectual than sports or "entertainment" oriented. I moved here in January 2007, having visited for 4 days in October.The weather then was "prime". The Villages is beautiful and clean physically, but the weather from June through September is unbearably hot and humid. After living here for 9 months, I'm ready to move. If your interests are golf, tennis, or vintage car shows and rock and roll/country music on the village squares every night, this is your place. But if you have a hankering for more cultural activities, they are only occasional here at Savannah Center. The restaurants are mostly "chain" with only 2 or 3 even a "cut" above that. And all but three close at 9:00 PM or before. To get even "4 star" atmosphere you have to drive to Ocala or Mount Dora, 20 miles away. And, although, there are countless activity groups they are centered mostly on physical or hobby activities rather than on the intellectual or cultural side. If you love golf and a "homey", almost "disneyesque" atmosphere, this is your place - if you hanker for culture and late night activity, find another.
