Hi, I'm new to the forum, I was excited to learn there is a place where I can converse with others in my age group.
I'm 62 years old. My husband and I have been living full time in our RV traveling the country for the past 4 years with our two Bichons (this is important). I have gotten tired of the lifestyle and we are looking for active adult communities in Florida. We are originally from Miami but lived in Miramar (Broward County) for the last 20 years. Our family is still in Miami except for our son and grandson who live in Pembroke Pines, our daughter lives in S. Korea and my father, who is 84, lives in Century Village in Pembroke Pines.
It would probably be wise to stay in the S. Florida area (although my son is planning on moving his family to South Carolina), but I have fallen in love with The Villages near Orlando FL.
What I'm hoping for is input from anyone who lives in either location. Are The Villages as much fun as they seem? Are any places in S. Florida active or are they just a place to wait for death (if you get what I mean). I'm very interested in the community, clubs and amenities.
Thanks for any help
