The Retirement Community Of The Villages, Florida

Smack-dab in the heart of central Florida, a beautiful retirement community offers a lifestyle of

nothing but sun and fun for the retired. With homes ranging from every type of budget, The Villages is

the Florida community you have waited your whole life to live in. Complete with its own currency

system and golf cart lanes on every road, it is one of the country's fastest growing retirement

communities.

Modeled after Florida's Spanish settlement history, The Villages' Spanish Springs Town Square has

daily happy hour gatherings with live bands, good food, and local venders. Surrounded by restaurants

such as Katie Belle's and Tierra Del Sol, as well as the Rialto Movie Theatre, and countless shops

and boutiques, the Spanish Springs Town Square is the busiest spot in town. Daily festivals, parades,

and organizational fundraisers invite residents as well as visitors to dance, sing and shop on a daily

basis.

Living up to Florida's high retirement community standards, the community has a prestigious golf

course that offers beginner, executive, and even championship rounds. Complete with a fantastic

health and recreation program, The Villages offers involvement in competitive sports such as polo,

swimming, fishing, canoeing, golf, bowling, tennis, and many more. Because recreation and club

memberships are extended only to residents, they are a great way to satisfy social interaction and

build friendships with peers.

There is no need to worry if you do not know other residents upon moving to the community. An age

requirement of 55 guarantees that all residents are surrounded by people of their own age, who share

their same interests. With an organization for every type of personality including religious and worship

groups, sports teams, musical theater clubs, arts and crafts meetings, and even special interest

clubs, you are sure to find your niche in no time at all. You can examine the beautiful Florida sky at

night with the astronomy club, and then again during the day with the bird watching club. Learn more

about your family history in the genealogy club, show off your life-long collector's items in the

collectors club, or even learn a new language in the language club. The community's excellent clown

club is a favorite of the community when they perform at various parades and entertain at local

Florida schools.

The kite-flying and aeronautics clubs draw crowds of on-lookers when residents showcase their

graceful flying skills and knowledge to aspiring young astronauts. The community's competitive Irish

step-dancing group holds regular shows and lessons for youth throughout the area. While the Girls

Scouts of America organization has a very strong alumni association that host regular fundraisers and

events with troops from all over Florida. However, if you are looking for a more spiritual involvement,

the enormous Catholic church of Saint Timothy's is an ideal place for religious involvement. Every

Sunday hundreds of both residents and visitors from surrounding communities come to hear the

renowned St. Timothy's choir.

No matter how you prefer to get involved during your retirement, the retirement community of The

Villages, Florida has more than enough sun, fun, organizations and activities to keep you entertained

and making friends while you enjoy the golden years. Long Beach Island Real Estate
