We moved from Texas to Florida a year ago! It has been a great experience. You cannot beat an hour drive to the beaches or 30 minutes to Disney!

I'm 44 and live in The Villages! And have been enjoying documenting our life here! Hubby and I have a cozy courtyard villa close to all the shops and amenities. I lived in Orlando for over 24 years prior to moving here and still frequent O-Town because of friends, family, and of course Disney! You know what they say about The Villages! It's like Disney World for adults and it's so true! Lol. One of the 3k clubs you mentioned is a Mickey Fanatic's Club which I recently been accepted as a member after being on the waitlist for like 3 years! Seriously! Thanks for another great video!

God Bless the gentlemen who made his way to Orlando from SF area. Put the work in and made it happen!! Enjoying his new chapter!

Huge move for sure! Seemingly very worth it though!

Ken, I love the new you with your thumbnail! You’re aging in style my man! 😜 Grrrrreat overview of 55+ communities here in Central FL! We are beyond thrilled to live yards from Mystic Dunes GC in the Four Seasons community & love unbridled access to nearby amenities! To live where people vacation offers an incredible quality of life for me & mine and the many friends & family that visit us. We enjoy their company and they enjoy where we live! Cheers & thanks for the video! It was exceptionally well done! See ya round town or perhaps on the GC one of these days! Kungaloosh!!

Well done, Ken. At 58 and 47, we recently relocated from ATX and we loves us some DW Sunbridge! :-) Awesome location (20 mins to MCO, 45 mins to the parks, and just about 50 mins to Port Canaveral for our frequent cruises). Amazing quality of life, and such a great community of interesting and caring neighbors--couldn't be happier.

Great video! Thank you very much.

Beautiful video. Well Done!

Awesome video Ken !

There is now a neighborhood (Middleton) in the middle of The Villages that is for families and has lots of kiddos. They have a beautiful school and their own downtown area under construction.

Have lived in Orlando area for 28 yrs. Love it here, we are in Lake Mary/Sanford area. Great area

Awesome video idea!! This is great stuff

Thank you, sir 🙏🏼

Happy to see you came to Khovnanian FOUR SEASONS ORLANDO

I'd like to see more content about villages. They often get a bad rap, but until recently, didn’t realize how nice the shopping and restaurants are.

Loving the videos. We’re in the UK - would you ever do a video on moving to Orlando from abroad (preferably UK 😊)?

Jeez, Ken, if we’d known you were coming to Oasis we would have come said hi! On the other hand, the place is a mess and we wouldn’t have let you film. :) We started talking about moving here in 2014 and got serious about it in 2021. We actually visited Sunbridge first, but it felt too big and spread out and too far from where we wanted to be. We visited Oasis, and really liked the vibe. Can’t really define it, but it just felt right. We signed the contract in December 2022 and moved in last October, and really enjoy the place! (Say hi to Jen Irvine for us-she was such a big help every step of the way!) Oddly enough, we haven’t been to the parks all that much, but it turns out we get a great view of all the SpaceX launches, so thumbs up!

Getting ready to move!!!!!

Golf at the 50+ executive courses IS included in the monthly amenity fee in The Villages. Only the Championship courses are an extra cost.

Ken over here making it cool to get old…

Tell us about the loofas!! Should I opt for the purple or blue?

Dude!!! The thumbnail 😂😂😂

Hahahaha! Had to elevate my game for this one

Nice top Ken, what brand is that and where did you get it?

The thumbnail is to good!!!

I know this is out of context . who's the clothing brand on your red top ? thanks in advance

close to the parks and airports is our priority, but with 10k lot or larger. hard to find

Great information! Can you tell me if it’s possible to rent in one of these communities, I’m not sure if living there is for me or not?

Yes,over 55 and a year's lease, no short term rentals

Can you go over this same concept but for those who can afford $100,000 or less. Like the good mobile home parks? Or if you already have a recent video of that send the link? Please and thank you 😊

What about Snowbirds? There must be a pretty large stat of Canadians retiring in Florida...

Starting to look for a second home.. where to start..so many choices…

You mentioned the Villages is equidistant from Ocala and WDW but Ocala is ~20 miles away and WDW is ~60 miles away.

Very limited audience with these houses. I'm looking to downsize during retirement, and that's not a 600,000 house

Ken, if I heard you correct you said The Villages was 57 acres however it is over 20,000 acres.

Yes, I came to the comments to see if someone had corrected this. It’s 57 sq miles, not 57 acres, lol. Imagine 140K+ retirees crammed into 57 acres. 😂 Also, kids under 19 can’t live here, not 18. 👍🏻

The Villages is way bigger than 57 acres. Closer to 57 square miles and growing.

One mega error in the video.The Villages is the largest, single-site, residential real estate development in the United States, spanning over 35,000 acres in three adjoining counties in Central Florida. (the video says 57 acres)

As childcare costs rise, we can expect many young adults to flock to Florida to be closer to their parents / grandparents.

Not our 3 kids! They all live in California and would never move to FL for many reasons, with humidity and politics being at the top of the list. They’ll visit us (in The Villages) and go to Disney, but never ever live here.

the Villages is more than 57 acres

You look like Alex Trebek 😅

Your not retiring there,, too expensive

57 acres seems low

@rangerthedog8981 according to the villages own website “Currently under development and/or complete combining both of these areas there’s approximately 57 square miles.” I mistakenly said acres. I meant square miles, but the 57 is correct
