First the Villages! Lasted six months. Too much rah, rah and incessant activities. And the obvious MAGA vibe. The other one was better. Activities but no pressure to join. HOA costs are a consideration. They can increase rapidly depending on amenities offered. Visit several, check out the vibes and go with the one you feel is you.
