Find out if any homes are for sale in the area, and learn their advertised price.

Love the narrated driving tour! Going next month for a lifestyle visit. We can’t wait.
See you when you get here!
Hey guys. The tree Linda called out was a Lagerstroemia Indica, the common name is crepe myrtle. looks like a pink Valour. Thanks, for the ride I enjoyed it!
You are right of course, Joel. We should have known that. We have one in our backyard!
You beat me to it Joel.
I have to laugh at the name of the village Chitty chatty. We have friends in the villages and were there in January and drove through. Funny! Love your videos.
Jerry…Linda…[and Gizmo]…your golf cart rides are the best! Why? For someone like me who’s newly retired, but stuck here in New Jersey for the time being, it’s as if I’m right there with you. I have been on “The Villages Lifestyle Visit”, and hands down the #1 most fun thing was riding in the golf cart. And thank you for not dubbing in canned music. You are such great people, so hearing you narrate with “nat sound” is the way to go!
Thank you Jay!
As a 25 year retired LAPD veteran, I appreciate your sound advice about driving with dog obstructions.
Thank you for your service!
I don’t know why these cart rides are so relaxing, but I’m hooked.
That's what we love to hear. We never know if people are going to like them we just hope they do.
The driveway designs in the villages are awesome
We love these cart rides!! Thanks for taking us along!!
Take your cart back! We always grab 2 or more carts, every time we park, & take them to the cart corral or back to the store... Mainly because we don't want them banging our car after we park, but also because it's just the right thing to do! We need a cart; there's a cart; why not?!
Wow!!!! Two fantastic things I appreciate about Florida and The Villages are 1) the gorgeous dramatic painterly skies, and 2) the beautiful captivating landscaping- which takes a lot of care and looks great! Thanks for the ride! Enjoyed it immensely.
I enjoy the golf cart rides. Thanks
I love these cart trips, so much fun and so much beauty...I especially like the ones on a rainy day.....you and Linda make them so relaxing along with being informative..and hearing sweet Gizmo in the back is so cute! I look forward to the next one!
That is so nice of you to say. We really love to hear when people like what we are doing. ❤❤❤❤❤
Your cart ride videos never get old, even the routes that I'm familiar with. I'm glad Gizmo didn't fell off (as Linda thought 🙂). Thank you for posting. Cheers.
Thanks, Mike! Hope all is well! 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Wonderful of you both, and Gizmo, to bring us all around and talk about all the areas in the complex. Hope you both get on the softball team, if that's what you desire. Alligators, Bears, Mosquitos, Oh My!
I really enjoy these ride alongs and see the different areas. Thank you for doing these.
Loved this ride-along! Such fun!! 😍🥰😍, have a wonderful evening! Mia 😎
Alligator in shade chilling at 3 minutes.
Jerry and Linda,
I want to go to the villagers just to visit . it's so pretty there.
I like it because the manicured lawn , golf cart road you are driving on , it's pretty.
I Love Palm Trees , I'm a beachy kind of gal !!! I love beautiful homes, etccc.
We are you long lost friends , who you haven't seen in yearssss . After all, I used to be your neighbor ( lol ) Illinois.
I did think of hurricanes, if I lived there, I would leave a week before it arrives , head towards Tennessee and visit The Great Ole smoky mountains.
Howdy neighbor! That is what many people do. When the threat of a hurricane comes they hit the road.
I thought this ride was one of your best! Love the landscaping throughout the Villages. What a beautiful place to live. Thanks so much for taking the time to bring us these videos!
It was nice to see all the different colored houses. I would not like to live that to close to the power lines! Thanks for the video.
That sky was absolutely spectacular. Love those late-day thunderheads!
Missed Gizmo! Glad you didn't lose him!
Always enjoy you're videos!
Enjoyed the ride and the views
What a LOVELY ride!!! THANK YOU! Loved seeing all the homes and thanks for going extra mile and telling us today's availability and pricing. Everything there is GORGEOUS! Sound was excellent and always love both of you narrating. Jerry hope your cough is better!!! You guys take care of yourselves!!!!!! Thanks again for WONDERFUL SHOW!!!
Jerry, Jerry, Jerry if I'm going into a store to buy so much that I need a cart to put everything in, that store can send an employee out into the parking lot to retrieve them and be thankful that they have customers like me who buy so much from them that I have to have a cart to carry it all to my car! As Ollie used to tell Stan...em, em, em!
Thank you for sharing! It was fun to tour around & see the softball field & airsoft shooting range, as well as the new homes in Chitty Chatty!
(Suzie) This made me nuts!! We are up here in nice cool Michigan with our horses for the summer, but this made me so homesick for TV!! This is our stomping ground!
I know I'm once again commenting on an older video but I'm playing catch up. I love these golf cart ride videos. I WANT a golf cart garage!! Lol
What a wonderful video! I felt that we were with you cruising around! So relaxing! I love almost anything at Cracker Barrel!
I can see why you live there, very nice, sort of romantic too! Great job Jerry and Linda!
Thanks for the ride, loved the various home paint colors, who needs a golf cart when you can hitch a ride on a Jerry, Linda and Gizmo video.
❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks guys for the lovely cart ride! I don't have a cart yet, so these rides are a real treat for me. I get to see The Villages from a different perspective! Love the banter between you two also! Stay well and thanks again! ❤
Theresa! You are most welcome as always. We would be happy to take you along one day when we get our hands on a 4 seater.🙂🙂
Really enjoyed today's ride!! Beautiful places! Hope you guys have a great time next week or so on the Cruise. 🚢⛱
I agree Jerry. I like the variety of colors on the homes. Not boring.
Hey Jerry and Linda!
I love watching your videos, especially your cart rides, I feel like I'm right there riding with you... I caught a glimpse of something at your 2:55 mark in this video, wondered if you had seen it? :) ... Love y'all!
Cathryn Ann (super viewer)
Our pleasure!
I really enjoy these ride alongs and see the different areas. Thank you for doing these. Even though I will relocate to a different retirement community I like see what the colors and styles are.
Thank you Jerry and Linda for the wonderful tour! I agree it would be nice to see a Cracker Barrel and maybe an Olive Garden Restaurant as well. Thanks again.
love the cart rides the new shopping plaza looks great it was funny when jerry was saying all the places you can go to, and you guys are right the sky is beautiful I bet sun rise and sun sets are awesome there too. thanks for the video I always look forward to your next one.
Thanks, Ed. 😁😁
If only Jerry could always be my future Uber driver it be so fun lol and Thank you for saying something about bringing back your shopping carts and not leave them 3 steps away from the cart holder or against a car! As a former cart collector ive seen it all!
Buckle up! 😁😁😁
We live in California. And we cannot wait to move out. For obvious reasons. My wife is a teacher and we have 10 more years. I just can’t wait for it to be living in the villages. I’d love to meet with you at some time once we get there. I love all of your videos.
Thank you Rob. Hang in there, those last 10 years fly by.
@@JERRYANDLINDA I certainly hope so…
Came for the witty repartee, left satisfied!
🙂😁😆😆😆😁🙂
Absolutely love your golf cart rides!!!
Thank you Carol, we are so glad you like them. 😁😁😁
Oh I am just loving this golfcart ride. Since I paint I think that blue sky color would be close to the gorgeous Cerulean Blue. My home in Coral Springs looked just like those villas, miss it so much, should never have left. You two are so funny and adorable at the same time. Love those Villas, wish there was a complete one stop shop relocation company that did it all! Easy!
Thank you Mary Annette. We have fun doing it and we are so glad you like it. 🙂🙂
Such a timely video for me! I’m getting ready to paint the exterior of my house. In the Atlanta area where I live dark colors are trending, even black! I’m planning to go from a khaki color to a deep teal/ peacock blue if I’m bold enough to go through with it! The Villages are beautiful as always, thanks for the golf cart ride!
Noooooooo! It will be great to be individual and have a beautiful color, but are the darker colors are best choices for cheerful breezy living?
@@JERRYANDLINDA Good point!
We love the ride alongs with you both. So beautiful. Randy and sherrill from N.C.
Love the ride alongs, have a great Weekend.
Thanks for the ride! Very nice!
Thank You for the ride. I always enjoy seeing all the beautiful houses and landscaping.
Love the ride along.. I get a better sense of home options.. personally like the double garage/ golf cart add on 1/2 circle drive ways are a nice option thanks you two.
Love going on these drives with you 2.
Thank you Stephanie. We enjoy them too. 🙂🙂
I followed along on your entire trip with my aerial map on my phone. That was kind of fun. 😆 Thanks for the tour!!
Thanks for the ride.
Great show we love watching from here in Australia cheers Mark and Kathy
Thanks. Greatest show on earth tour. Color of houses great. Good prices.
I really like all the colors!
Enjoyed your video and Loved going along for the ride!.
Thanks for the heads-up on this. You guys are the best.💖
Woohoo! Love the cart rides! Thanks to both of you! :)
Thank you Lynda! 🙂🙂
Thanks for the Chitty Chatty tour! Will have to check out Lake Deaton Plaza!
Thank you for taking us along for the cart ride.
Our pleasure, Stephen! 🙂🙂
Hi Jerry & Linda! We have enjoyed all your videos so much! We finally made it here for a 2 month visit and are having a great time going to the places that you have mentioned. You guys are amazing!!!
Thank you Gilbert! We're glad you're enjoying yourself.😁😁
Love the cart rides..chatty chatty is a vibrant colored area..
Another great video. The cart rides are the best. Especially the commentary 👍🏻
Thx for the ride along! Hope your cough is better soon, Jerry. 😎 We’ve had same for several weeks 😒
I have been researching places my husband Allen and I will retire from Lexington Ky. I found yall and absolutely love your videos as many do. I can’t wait to do our lifestyle visit. We’ll see ya when we get there 😉
❤❤❤❤❤
Loved the tour, I’ll look good in Ty Villa! Have a great weekend 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for highlighting our village, we love it. You missed our house, maybe next time, love you guys
❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Randall Here. I don't always have time to comment, but I enjoy the videos still. I love the cart rides, as we get to see so much of the Villages and the homes. I love the houses with the two full size garages. That is a unique option I have not seen before on most homes in Florida. I'm a bit of a gear head. LOL
If we buy again, that might be one thing we would look for. We would for sure want at least 12 garage and one full extra garage. Folks that chose that option have lots more storage space.
@@JERRYANDLINDA wow! 12 garages! That could almost fit Jay Leno's car collection! (we know you meant 2 plus one full🤗)
One Two car garage. And one extra full size garage. 😁😁
If you do purchase in TV, note in the deed whether or not you are 'allowed' to work on your vehicles. Ours in DeLuna (that we just cancelled) said you are not allowed to do any restoration on cars, planes, boats in your garage. Nor may you have a vehicle larger than 3/4 ton. Since you said you were a gear head, thought you'd be interested.
Just reckoning from your amazing videos, I prefer the "older" areas to the new. Love me some trees and shrubbery.
Jerry's love of KFC is still a source of wonder 😜
Love to see the shopping centers and stores you have!
Love your tours, thank you !
Thanks Gang....Looking forward to getting back down....
Great video, sound and picture just perfect.
Wow! I really appreciate hearing that. I worry about it a lot on our drives.
Just bought a home in DeLuna, closing in about 3 weeks. Glad it has one big garage door + a small one for a golf cart. When I came down previously for my "lifestyle visit" I rented a place with the two small garage doors and getting my big car in the garage was like threading a needle. Beware of them if you have a large vehicle. Just too narrow to get in and out comfortably..
Your cart rides are awesome! Thanks!
Thank you Patty B! We really appreciate that. 😁😁
Appreciate this cart ride and getting to know my way around just going with you on the rides. Ty Villa's looks like a great area and I'm going to look up those houses but I bet they already have "pending" written on them. Thanks for a great ride.
I really like the ride alongs! It makes me feel like I’m riding in the cart with you! Beautiful sky and homes as well as the landscaping! Could you tell if the noise from the highway was annoying? It sounded really quiet on your ride. Enjoyed the ride!
We did not find it annoying. Our cart is a gas cart. And although quieter than some gas cards, it does make some noise. We did not notice the turnpike noise during this trip.
I think Chitty Chatty is far enough away from the turnpike to hear the noise. The only downside to Chitty Chatty is the power lines. Otherwise, great location down south. 👍🏻
Golf cart rides and palm trees 🌴 that’s a vibe! Beautiful homes & scenery! I’ve heard in Florida it’s shorts tanks & flops- it’s to hot for anything else!
You'll see people wearing everything. Yesterday I saw a man in a long sleeve shirt and long pants. The day before I'm remember seeing a lady with a sweater on. It's anything goes… whatever floats your boat..
Loved it!!!
Omg. 49 min video? Could you imagine my comment? 😂😂. So gonna like👍🏼, watch and enjoy. Love to see the beautiful homes and curb appeal. Know you’re cruising any day now. We leave Monday so may not see Mondays video if there is one. Will not purchase WiFi so no online for us from the 18th to the 26th. Then will come back to maybe 150 notifications 😩. Enjoy your vacation 🛳
Love those drive arounds 👍
Thank you so much for sharing this video!! I am 56 and have been to TV and it’s beautiful!! I have a while to work tho!! Love your videos!! Keep it up for us dreamers!! 😜
Thank, Kim! 🙂🙂
Also wild boars and armadillos in the wilderness under the powerlines ... in addition to all the critters Jerry mentioned.
Good morning Jerry & Linda! We also have a lot of those colors in Hammock of Fenney.
We know now! 😁😁😁😁
Another nice ride! I love that neighborhood! ❤️
Thanks, Linda Sue!
I always enjoy the ride alongs. Its so beautiful there. I have a question. Approaching Chitty Chatty, you turned left off of the multi modal onto the regular road before you got to turn on the bridge. How do you know when you're allowed to drive on the regular road and when it's a no no. Obviously the freeway with ramps is a no no, but otherwise, how can you tell?
You can drive on all of the smaller streets here. You cannot drive on the likes of Morse boulevard, Buena Vista, highway 44, Warm Springs road, Meggison road, and roads that have speed limits beyond the capabilities of the golf cart. There are many gates that will tell you not to proceed and lots of signage.
I was wondering the same thing 👍
Good morning! I can't wait for shorts/Capris/leggings and flip flops most of the year!!!!
Yes! That is definitely the bulk of our wardrobe.
Omg I want that Classics cart ……cool video
Great job as always the power grids right after the 18:00 minute mark very very large !
I like the homes with the cedar shake looking siding just under the eaves. My house has scalloped siding in that area, front and back.
We like those too!
Looking forward to that great new show "Naked and Afraid in the Villages" LOL
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Great ride thank you! Yes! Some of those villas were colour-matched whilst blindfolded as an experiment to copy Margaritaville. A few awful colour combinations.
Thanks so much for the neighborhood tours! Good info for folks out of state! Wonder how many homes are in this section? Know there are lots of villages, have heard over 100… have you done videos on all the different villages?
No way! We have not even been to all of the different villages.
Which video did u put a clip of your cruise on ?
I can't find it anywhere.
Thank u
Enjoy all your videos !!!
LOVE your golf car rides! Your drive through Lake Deaton Plaza was nostalgic for me, lol. We ate at Piesano’s last month on our lifestyle visit, and while eating there I commented under your most recent (at that time) video thanking you for recommending it because we loved it. Then I told you we hadn’t seen any gators yet, and sadly we never did. Hopefully we’ll be back permanently, and will finally see a gator or two. Oh, and the furniture store going in there is Ethan Allen. I inherited lots of EA furniture when my parents passed 10 years ago, but it’s dark pine so I’m facing the tough decision as to whether it’ll work in our future Villages home once we move there. This furniture is expensive, and great quality! Thanks to Linda I’m actually considering chalk painting all of it after we’re there. We’ll see! Hugs for Gizmo! I never heard a peep out of him. 🤗😍
Btw, love everything about Chitty Chatty, even the location, but those dang power lines sadly make it a no for me. Too bad they’re there! 😕
That will be a good call if you chalk paint that furniture. That is good stuff. You probably would have to pay dearly to get furniture constructed that well today. Don't worry about the alligators, we will show you where they are!
@@JERRYANDLINDA Thank you! I would enlist my husband’s help too of course. He actually has more patience for these kinds of projects than I do, lol. 😜
enjoyed
We love Cracker Barrel. My mom lives near one at her retirement village!
Hello Linda I think the sub sandwich shop your thinking of is Jersey Mike’s which started here in New Jersey
Love your videos. Wish you'd drive to restaurant and show is the menu. Even if you don't eat there, it would be nice to see what's available.
Thanks for let us drop out
Our pleasure! 🙂🙂
