Moving to The Villages, Florida! BIG Changes Over 50!

[@janetpiazza6748]

I am so happy for you. I am a Florida native. I have lived in Tampa my entire life. I have never heard of the Villages until now. As a single mom and a 56 year old, I often wonder what my life will look like once all my kids have moved away. Thank you for sharing this. You have given me something to think about. Being over 55 clearly doesn’t mean a person has to live a lonely, boring life. You are such an inspiration.

[@mmarie1131]

I’m in the same boat as well!!! This is definitely something I also need to think about!!

[@brendaberry]

I knew something was up after your visit! I kept wondering why we didnt see your landscaping project that you were working on. I am so happy for you! The Villages seems like it fits your lifestyle perfectly. I really am so happy for you and your furbabies! Enjoy and I can't wait for a finished home tour!

[@jbbb7418]

Me too

[@louisemcmillan3576]

I am very excited and happy for you, Kimberley, but I must admit, I was very shocked to see you are moving again so quickly after your relocation to Aiken! You've made such a lovely home there and it is such a darling town. I hope you will share with us, your thought process in this new adventure. Much love from Perth, Western Australia xxx

[@kimlee1798]

Welcome! As a fellow Villager, I’m really happy for your new adventure here. I’ve been here 7 years and still pinch myself that I actually live here. It was smart of you to rent first. Because of the size of The Villages and depending on your interests and needs, getting to know what area suits you best is a wise choice. I’m glad you’re getting a chance to enjoy some of what there is to do here while you’re also busy unpacking. As much as there is to enjoy here, it is also fun to explore the surrounding communities, discover their unique shops, bakeries and sights. Enjoy!!!

[@donnafrei8062]

So happy for you. Really glad that you visited, did research & r renting (wonderful backyard!)...certainly helps that you have friends living there. I have a good friend that has lived there for 2 years & she loves it (busy, busy). I live in Clearwater & have visited many times but I personally would never move there. Be careful at the roundabouts & remember everything shuts down at 9 pm!

[@AnneRas11]

Old conservative jerks

[@angelastahl626]

I, too, am wondering what happened with Aiken, because you seemed just as happy, excited, bubbly, glowy, and enthusiastic about it when you moved there just a year ago.

[@59shawne]

Your happiness shows on your face, you are just beaming! Congratulations for following your bliss. The fur kids look like they have also found their happy place. Much love to you! Thank you for taking us along and showing us that there are still lots of new chapters in life after 50 and beyond.

[@celeste-236]

Thank you for the courage you have in packing up and moving from California to Lake Tahoe to South(?) Carolina, to Florida. You’re a wonderful example to me of doing what feels better, not staying stuck in an area that no longer rings your bells & being open to the fun, & laughter, that new experiences bring, when you have a positive attitude. Life is supposed to be fun. ❤️😊

[@janisnewman1832]

How do I get more info?! You are incredible and I would love to speak with you, if you ever do that. I’m very excited for you and the life you have found. PLEASE direct me. I live in Acapulco half of the time and I understand you have a history with Mexico I also live in Texas and want to leave. Thank you for your very uplifting videos and info. KEEP HAVING FUN AND LAUGHING!!!!!!😂😂😂😂

[@sheilagilliland2336]

Welcome! I moved to the village of Newell from Nashville Tennessee almost 3 months ago. I can’t believe you are down here now. Isn’t it fabulous? There are lots of comments about The Villages but until you have been here and visited and spent some time, you really don’t understand what it’s all about. Beautiful weather, and a very active lifestyle with so much to do. It is true happiness! Congratulations to you.❤

[@PrettyOverFifty]

Howdy neighbor!! So glad you're enjoying it as much as I am!

[@linrae1181]

I live in Florida, the Tampa Bay Area and trust me you won’t want to be out listening to music in the summer at 5pm. The heat and humidity is oppressive. If you can afford to have a home up north for the summer, then it’s great 4-5 months a year. I’ve been here over 40 years and can’t wait to get out. Heading to a more moderate year round climate. Also by the way hiking in Florida is called walking. It’s flatter than flat 😂😂 Admire your adventurous spirit tho!

[@michellekelly2937]

Hiking in Florida is called walking.....It's flatter than flat (and also....hotter than Hell!) Thanks for making me giggle! I'm glad I live in Canada. I can't imagine living with that kind of heat for months and months. The sad thing is it's only going to get worse. I've certainly noticed a big change in our weather here.

[@patl.4170]

I’m in the Tampa Bay Area too and I’m with you… can’t wait to get out.

[@sevasweets7856]

Where are you planning to relocate?

[@gabbys7719]

Wow Kimberly, have to admit I am soo surprised! You seemed to love your house in Aiken and love the town itself. Seems like you made this decision so quickly. I would never have guessed that The Villages would be your style. I know there are pros and cons to the Villages, but I prefer to live in a more mixed demographic. It's nice to share views with all ages. An age-restricted community is not for me - I think you can find activities everywhere you live if you look.

[@tammythomas975]

You look happy. I live in the mountains of south WV on 5 acres of land. I can’t imagine being around all of those people all the time but that is up to each individual. I’m happy for you to be doing what you love.

[@gricinda3830]

Personally I prefer Aiken and it’s charm. Even though I’m 74 I don’t want to be surrounded by all old people. I like to be around a mix of ages. Younger people inspire me and give me energy.

[@deb9806]

That's how my mom felt. She wished she held onto her old home longer, the younger kids and older senior mix made her feel more alive. The seniors in her building were the stereotype complainers of health issues or whatever. I wouldn't like the feel of the Villiages but at least they don't all act like seniors ; )

[@carolekellypearce1667]

I have to say, living in Aiken years ago myself, I feel sort of sad you decided to move. But everyone is different, and I hope you are happy in Florida. (What did you do with your vegetables you were growing?)

[@deb9806]

@@carolekellypearce1667 I was thinking how pretty that was, but she seems to know people here, a BIG plus, and others on youtube I am reading live there she might connect with. It's not my preference but I think it will be a great fit for her and maybe she'll vacation during the horrible, hot, humid weather. My mom was very lonely at times in her senior housing (not community)

[@Happy5R]

As Lou once said to Mary, “You got spunk.” Kimberly, you are loaded with it!!! Wishing you and your fur babies nothing but happiness.🎉

[@joannemorris6180]

Hopefully you will be very happy! My dad moved there but after a couple of years grew tired of everything being so crowded, I don’t think he ever got to golf when they wanted to. I did see it it was beautiful.

[@JJ-bl5mz]

My wife and I are 50 and 51 and won’t be retiring for a few years but we also fell in love with the Villages. The active lifestyle, positive environment, and endless activities both inside and outside of the Villages. We bought in the same Village you are in because we love the location - near Brownwood Paddock Square, Lake Okahumpka rec center, and easy access to the highways etc. We are so happy for you!

[@maryjanegrosclaude1913]

You look like you are so happy and glowing. I live in Naples Florida so I get the weather thing, which in itself is amazing. You were a little too hip for Aiken, but I get that that is what makes the world go round. I live thru you vicariously. I’m so happy for you and can’t wait to see your new decorating. Love and best wishes for your new adventure. Luv Mj

[@karenb3857]

Wow, what a big surprise!!! I’m shocked that you moved from Aiken . I thought you really loved it there. Can’t wait for the tour of the inside of your house and your yard!!! My goodness all the things you can do and not get bored in the Villages…. I love that!!! Can’t wait to hear more ❤

[@judylayton2887]

Kimberly, I can't believe you are here! We have been in the Villages for 22 years and witnessed so many changes. Welcome, hope you love it as much as we have!!!!

[@andreasakara6032]

I am so very happy for you. Being a resident of MN I can definitely see the advantage of living in a place that you can be outside and active (not shoveling snow active) all year round. I know you really enjoyed Aiken but this looks like a better fit for you. Your fur babies look very happy!

[@jillk5151]

As a fellow Minnesotan, I totally agree! Lol.

[@carolrydzanich2520]

I just left there after 23 years. Couldn’t afford it anymore, but it’s a beautiful place. I will miss it and all the memories and friendships I’ve had.

Welcome!!! I love it here!! I moved here after my husband died to start a new life and I have never regretted it.

[@patrobertson772]

I just bought a home in The Villages in March! Within the first few hours of my visit back in January I knew I was buying a home! I just picked up my new golf cart yesterday! The community is amazing and it really is like being at summer camp with so many things to do.

[@suzannereeves7768]

I also am a 66 year old who recently moved to a 55+ community in Palm Desert CA. I too pooh-poohed these type of communities but after moving here about two months ago, I have such a different view of this environment. I love it! So much to do, every social club you can think of, great shopping and restaurants nearby. I feel like I’m living in a resort everyday! Much joy and happiness in your new home!

[@PrettyOverFifty]

I lived in Palm Desert for 12 years and loved it - had a place in Palm Valley Country Club. So much to do and such beautiful Desert scenery! Enjoy!

[@suzannereeves7768]

Yes, Palm Valley is nearby. You beat me in getting such a nice golf cart which I haven’t done yet. I bet your former landlord in Aiken hated to see you leave as you really fixed that home and yard, front and back, so beautifully. Can’t wait to see what you do with this rental!

[@LisaNix2]

I have watched lots of videos and have read many articles on the Villages. There are pro and cons to everything, we all need to find what’s best for ourselves. Wishing you the best!

[@vicki2570]

Welcome to The Villages! You made a great decision. We have been here since 2017 and it just gets better every day. So much to do here!! Enjoy.

[@dreicher]

Congratulations and welcome to Florida! I have friends in the north end The Villages and I think it really is an amazing concept. I live on the Gulf Coast of Florida because we salt water fish and have a boat, but I think The Villages is great option. There really is everything you can think of from golf, crafting, knitting, sewing, other sports, music...etc. The options are endless for those who like to do things. The Villages is a city comprising of three (one day four) "downtown" squares (restaurants, shops, medical offices etc). Each "downtown" consists of retail, social, restaurants etc, surrounded by medical & professional buildings & condos then there are villas & homes. Each downtown has different themes and shops and restaurants. Some have farmers markets on the weekends. On the perimeter of the entire city are automotive shops, more medical, shopping and restaurants. And of course, the best thing is you can get around the entire city by golf cart. You are not limited to the square of where you live. There are a lot of beautiful green areas. It is a great option especially for those who like to do things, but may not know a lot of people.

[@marymccarthy9941]

Is there another option on the Gulf Coast that is similar to the villages?

[@mmarie1131]

This sounds so awesome!!! Thanks for all the great information!!!

[@dreicher]

@@marymccarthy9941 There is NOTHING as comprehensive as The Villages. It is really different than anything out there. It is in a class of its own. However Bradenton, Sarasota and Ft. Myers have several nice Gulf Coast retirement communities which are located either on or near the beach. They will have golfing, tennis, pools etc and there will be great restaurants nearby.

Happy for you as you look happy. Personally, I would never live in Florida the humidity and hurricanes are no go!

[@cinszins]

This was definitely a surprise as it feels like you had just moved to Aiken! I'm guessing Aiken must have been a little too quiet for you. The Villages sounds like a fun place but, definitely not for everyone! For active singles, who want to be surrounded by people and activities everyday, it's perfect. My husband and I need space and privacy! We would be overwhelmed in a place like that! Wishing you all the best on this next adventure! Your videos will be very exciting for those of us watching from afar!!

[@bridget6890]

The Villages is also very politically biased, that would bother me. I guess it works for some folk but definitely not everyone. The fur babies are delighted though, and that for me is great news.

[@jo-annr.1291]

I remember during the last election the villages made the news , during a golf cart parade. People started fighting, pushing and shoving. Unfortunately if you are not on “ the right” side of the tracks, it didn’t look too friendly. I wish Kimberly all the best, but I am kind of surprised. All the best to everyone!

[@cherieshea3246]

🎉As a 46 yr resident of Florida, I will be interested to see how you feel about the heat and humidity 8 months of the year. Perhaps not this year, but next. As I've gotten older I can hardly stand it any longer. I loved the Villages when I visited and expect you will enjoy all it has to offer. Enjoy

[@sheilah.8137]

We lived in FL for 6 years and left because of the summer heat and humidity. We wanted to be outside more but it was just too hot for us. That and evacuating for hurricanes.

[@cherieshea3246]

@Sheila H. Yep...as soon as I can, I'm leaving. Has also become unaffordable for the working class. Not to mention the current put of control state of property insurance.

Yea.. that was exactly my comment to her. I have been in Tampa for approx 40 years and I am tired of the hot weather, threat of hurricanes, etc. in addition, homeowners insurance is so expensive some can barely afford their homes. I would love to move somewhere to Georgia… maybe in a few years.

I see a lot of negative feedback. However, if I was living alone and needed a sense of community and a place to feel safe- this place would be my go to. Yes, it’s super hot, I live in GA and moving next year up north. But! I think the atmosphere is great for a person who is retired, or just needs activities. Not everyone has a big family, and some times places like this can help fill that void. I think you’ll be happier here! Been to Aiken, and it seems really sleepy. Cute but sleepy!

[@bobbievowell3269]

My husband and I moved to the Villages in October 2002. I was 50 at the time and was reluctant. Flash forward 20+ years.

🌷Good for you, Kimberly! You are so motivating and encouraging to me as I am a 67 year old divorcee in a tiny apartment and I don’t know a soul here! Your environment sounds so wonderful! I was divorced at age 62 and forced to sell my home, coordinate my out of state move to be close to my son and his family. I lost my house money to scammer during COVID so work parttime to supplement my SS. I didn’t expect the stigma associated with being a woman alone. And you are lucky to have nice people, because I haven’t met any here, and I’m alone a lot. I don’t want to burden my kids/grandkids so I drive the hour to visit them, act like I have a good life, and come home to loneliness. Keep up your fun activities. I’ve found leaving a familiar lifestyle very excruciating at my age. Florida is fabulous!!! God bless you in your new space!! 👏🏻💕💜

I cant even work up the courage to go to a nice local church we have here. I’m living vicariously thru Kimberly lol. If you ever get bored n want to chat feel free to comment.

Well Kimberly what can I say I have been expecting you planting your garden. You seemed so happy working in your yard and making the garden. What ever makes you happy liked Aiken better.

I just knew you'd be back to TV after the video of your visit! Congratulations! I hope to join you soon. Enjoy.

Good for you!! We bought a home in the Village of DeLuna this past December……we LOVE it there! We are back in New York for the summer, but I can’t wait to get back there! Enjoy!

Welcome to Florida Kimberly! I knew you would love the Villages and become a resident. xo patti

Thank you Patti!

[@aub521]

Congratulations! Had a feeling you were going to move there after I saw your video with Rusty. You’re smart to rent and not make a permanent commitment. Looking forward to seeing your new home once you’re unpacked and settled in. Love the bumblebee golf cart !!

[@elizabethvanmeter3217]

Wow! Very exciting news! You are going to have so much fun!!

[@virginiaanderson8875]

You are so smart to try it out - if you look on the sites, there are so many that love it but also, so many that left and would never do it again. I hope for you, it is a happy experience and a brand new place to rent, gives you a chance to find out if this is your permanent home.

Congratulations! You will be so happy there. My mom has a house in Gilcrest and I have one in Mallory. It’s a great place to live and visit. I’ll look for you at the squares.

Hi Kimberly so happy for you!!! That sounds like the perfect place for you!!! Enjoy and live your best life 😊🦋💜

I knew you were going after ur visit! Congrats! Glad you r there.

Welcome to Florida! I've been here nearly four years and I love it! I'm in an over 55 community on the west coast and it suits me very well. I can be as active and involved or as introverted as I want to be and I like that.

It was so refreshing to see a Villages video that not only didn’t focus on golf, but it wasn’t even mentioned or shown. LOL! We’ve lived here since last November and have owned since mid-December, and we love it without being golfers (though I suspect hubs will be eventually). We live pretty close to you just over the Water Lily bridge, and love the nature trails down here. Welcome, and enjoy your new lifestyle!

[@kalondiacasey]

I knew that you were going to move...felt that you had a connection to the Villages. Good for you! I hope you love it there and enjoy each and everyday! You are blessed!

[@ksouth126]

So exciting! My husband and I can’t wait to visit The Villages. We’ve been eyeing it up for a year or so. Can’t wait to follow your adventure.

[@RD_204]

So exciting. Looking forward to seeing how the your next chapter plays out. The Villages looks amazing.

[@Alis-Nicola]

U.K. subscriber here. I think you are so brave upping sticks and moving the way you have..the villages looks wonderful with so much to do right on your doorstep. I don’t think the u.k have such developments although I could be wrong and I just haven’t heard of any. 😊 Good luck with everything Kimberley x

Congratulations, enjoy your new rental home. It's lovely.
