The Villages is a master planned retirement community that sprawls over Sumter County, Lake County and Marion County along US-441/US-27 between Ocala and Leesburg, Florida. The Villages is huge, and very attractive and well maintained. We know several friends enjoy the community, the activity and living environment.

It is a destination one must see to be able to say "we saw the Villages", but for Ginger and I that like a yard, working in the garden, doing home improvement projects we do not see us living in that environment. My sense (only a sense) is the closeness of the community more could lead to a feeling of 'everyone knowing your business'. However, very pleasant and clean, with any and all services a retired senior or couple would need - right in town. There are various communities and as in all communities some moderate and some high ends homes.
