We’ve all heard the commercials, “America’s friendliest hometown…” It’s the largest retirement community in the world. The Villages is exactly what is says, it's a group of villages.

There are town squares where neighbors and good friends can get together for a good time. There are hundreds of indoor as well as outdoor activities every week so there’s something for everyone and The Villages is the only place in the world where you can play golf for free for the rest of your life!

They have a wonderful visitors program where you can go for a “lifestyle preview trip”. They will put you into either one of the rental houses or one of the cottages or villas and allow you to experience just what it’s like to live there.

You are given a Villages ID that grants you access to all of the amenities available plus they will give you a punch card good for:

• $12 Breakfast or Lunch at the Veranda Restaurant

While on your visit, The Villages will not pressure you at all. Their approach is "Here's our product, if you wish to buy, that’s great but we won't pressure you into anything." And they live up to it. While you're there, you can even enjoy the free trolley tour or a relaxing boat ride from Lake Sumter Landing.

If you want to experience The Villages lifestyle, you’ll need to rent a golf cart but if you are going there just to buy, don’t bother with the golf cart, you’ll need a car because the place is HUGE! Most everything is golf cart accessible, even many of the churches.

You’ll find a true sense of community at The Villages. Each neighborhood or “Village” has regular get together with pass a dish events, ladies luncheons, dances, card games, reading groups and numerous club activities. Most of the recreation centers post a list of the neighborhood activities and you can also get a printout of all of the monthly activities.

If you’re looking for a large retirement community with all of the amenities, you might want to consider The Villages Florida.
