Why Is The Villages Florida So Popular?

[@richardfederico9461]

People really have no idea what The Villages is like until they come and visit. You can get a very nice house, but if you’re moving here for the house, you can move anywhere. This place just offers so much more than anything I’ve ever seen in my years and travels.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

So true!

[@Debber0401]

Wow, I got so choked up by that golf cart parade!! Get well soon!!

[@richardfederico9461]

Village’s lifestyle second to none 👍👍👍

[@lauralampe1664]

How wonderful to see that golf cart parade to lift that gentleman's spirits!

[@tod3msn]

People are better here in the Villages. We are winners in life and being so gracious we enjoying being near other wonderful gracious people.

[@stefonthemove]

I just turned 50 and I am highly considering the villages for our winter home. Thanks for your videos you guys are so cute together :)

Bonnie should be reminded that only nice people can watch. Jerry and Linda--you're the BEST!

Well now Jerry and Linda, I am hearing all the insurance and tax issues are changing the retirement for many of us over 70 in Florida !

Thanks so much Karen!

This was a great show today. I enjoyed the photos of the Indiana house. Also, I appreciated Linda’s and Jerry’s comments discussing what they liked and didn’t like about their previous house in Indiana. Thank you for sharing that part of your life.

My daughter was in the Cabaret at the Sharon. She works for Sigpro. I'm going to be visiting in two weeks and I am looking forward to checking out the theater and the Villages.

[@karenb324]

Agree… may miss a little about this house but us,too have an acre with another garage out back- hubby’s home away from home. Taxes climbing and I am sick of it

[@bjansson]

I have lightning rods. It was the first thing i had installed when i got here. They are an amazing bit of technology! And i can enjoy the storms now without feeling like a target 🙂

[@MickeyC321]

What a great video! Great photos of the grandkids playing and the lovely parade. We live in an awesome neighborhood and there are so many lovely and caring neighbors that we would never consider moving. Yes, Ron Clark is an awesome photographer who shares his beautiful photos on Facebook. Thank you Ron. And thank you Linda and Jerry! Another informative and fun filled video.

Thank you so much!

The sky in the background of the outdoor scenes is so pretty!

[@maryannbranco8752]

I’ll be down for a lifestyle visit Oct 31-Nov 4 !! Hope to see you there!

[@patriciahunter1566]

About 12 years ago my house was hit by lightning. It blew out the garage door opener, all the computers, the TV, the AC, and some other things not coming to mind at the moment. Needless to say we got surge protection for the house. That was in NC, Florida is worse for lightening.

[@MichaelofTheVillages]

I always say the exact same thing “the best village in The Villages is your own” - every village has its own identity and charm, and something special to offer - I’m currently doing one golf cart ride per week in an objective to visit every single village. Spending time at the pools, rec centers, walking trails and any other sites in each and every village, as well as meeting and visiting with the villagers in that neighborhood - working my way alphabetically through every village - at the rate of one village per week should take me a total of a year and a half to complete.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

What a great goal! Thanks, Michael!

[@smileyone6186]

@@MichaelofTheVillages That’s a great idea. I think I will attempt to do so when I move there. Thank you.

Don't use window cleaner on your TV. You'll remove the anti-glare coatings on the screen. They make sprays specific for TVs and computer screens.

Story: My Mother(affectionally) referred to as Momie... she was working on her book in the 70's. Tap, tap, tap and a crack resonated ..., inside her writing cove as she looked up..., "A 36" ball, sparkling rainbow of lights hover beside her for a period of 10 second." At 89 she still tells the story vividly. Sharing.

I bought a TV house on my lifestyle visit earlier this month. Got home with so much to do to sell my current house. Boom 10 days of Covid isolation from the flight. Hopefully tomorrow is first negative test.

Super great show! We just finished watching it. Love the new technology with the background images changing. It really gives people a feel for life here in The Villages. So fun to see Linda and I at yoga together again. Love your shout out for us loving Collier as we do! And of course Al with Mike sharpening his gambling “skills”?😂 Regarding Bonnie, she could not be more wrong! You both are the most down-to-earth normal people we know as normal goes. Lol The only difference is having your fans approach you both to meet you as we did as well in the beginning.🥰

FYI, We were told when cleaning the windshield on our golf cart to only wipe left to right and vise versa. Never circular. It because of the material it's made of and it will scratch.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

We did not know that.

[@tvman8]

Good idea.

[@lauralampe1664]

I was in The Villages from July 20-28. It did rain almost every day for about an hour, sometimes 2 hours. Fortunately, the rain usually held off until after 7 pm on the Historic side/Spanish Springs area. The water in the Southside neighborhood pool was quite warm. The water at Orange Blossom Country Club pool was cooler. I miss my pool time already. My retirement countdown clock now stands at 268 days from today...fingers crossed.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

It will be here before you know it.

[@melissakaiser47]

Another fun show. It took me awhile to watch it since I’ve been watching the Olympics.

We are the oldest residents of Will villas in the village of Lake Denham. The rest of the residents in the Villa treat us like their parents. The biggest worry our own kids had was that we would have no help down here. After their first visit and seeing how our neighbors watched over us and gave any help we needed, they then agreed that we made the right choice to move to The Villages. 😁👍

Hey guys. Running all day. Finally a chance to sit and watch. Liked the interviews last Thursday. Our grandparents were grandparents. Cats and cookies. We as grandparents are as different as the day. The golf ⛳️ cart parade for Roger is so thoughtful. He sounds so appreciative and energetic. Speedy recovery to him. Great bubble wrap. I’m the queen of paper towel and don’t get streaks but my husband loves the microfiber cloths. Exactly Linda. Times change and 1-story homes are most desirable. Mexican food always a win 😋😋😋. Always get a kick out the sweet and salty. And can never forget Gizmo ❤. Great show as usual. Have a great week and see you Thursday 🤗

Hi Linda and Jerry, sure LOVE your show and the two of you always make my day! One question, did you mention that Peter Benard was a weather man before he retired? If so, would he be able to give some info on lightening rods? Thanks! xoxoxo

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Yes, we will see!!

[@tvman8]

Lightning rods: My opinion only. Lightning usually hit the tallest object. I would not want metal rods sticking up in the air on my house. I think they are great for a house 2 doors away from you. (Being funny here). That house attracts the bolt, you are saved. My opinion only.

[@thomasaccuntius9946]

Hi Jerry and Linda, do you visit your friends in Stonecreek, or have they passed? Correct Peter!!! If you check, you should not use Windex or cleaners on the plexiglass windshield on your golf cart. I use just a wet cloth and plastic polish. You home in Indiana was beautiful, and you could go outside at night and not have to worry about aligators. I love the changing seasons and can't stand heat, so I will stay here. When you moved did Gizzmo handle the change ok? He probably missed chasing squirrels.

[@tvman8]

Good post. No amonia is the key.

[@JERRYANDLINDA]

Gizmo was an absolute champ. He was up for anything. Car rides come bike rides, golf cart rides, He had no trouble acclimating at all. Sadly, both of those wonderful people have passed.

We live up north near Mulberry. We are a bit younger 65 but see some new younger people moving in. It’s quiet up here and think part of the reason is the Villages can not build above Route 42 acc to Marion County also not as wide so less traffic.

[@PapaPineapples]

Marion County would not let The Villages rename the roads and split it the way they wanted so they built the opposite direction.

[@nancyconca9892]
