Join us in this series as we take you along on our journey to find a home that's just right for us!
Our channel is about living an active retirement by ebiking, dancing, golfing and traveling. We make videos about living in The Villages, Florida but also about the Best 55 Plus communities in Florida, as we search for the perfect place to retire!

We have a lot of the same criteria for our future home. We would like a Veranda for our fur babies, though!🐶
We have the LOBLOLLY model in Newell and absolutely love it ❤
The things we especially like are:
☝🏻the only model we found with WALK-IN closets in all bedrooms (storage is at a premium)
☝🏻the pocket door making both guest bedrooms & bath like a private space, which our visitors love, … and they are good size
☝🏻all the natural light, lots of windows & a decent size lanai; and the lanai is open on 3 sides (good airflow)
☝🏻no pantry, but a large island in the kitchen (with storage), and the appliances are conveniently laid out
☝🏻one other thing we especially like is you can’t look into the master bedroom from the rest of the house (there’s a corner turn) more privacy
☝🏻we like that the island faces the dining room (in many other models the island faces the living room)
☝🏻we also like that the utilities (furnace & A/C) is in a closet in the garage
Everyone has preferences of things they like and things that they don’t care for.
We looked for four days during our lifestyle visit, starting up near Spanish Springs and moving south to the new homes. We preferred the spacious open floor plans of the newer models.
Shopping for homes in the Villages is a wonderful experience, and the Villages sales agents couldn’t be nicer (and NOT hard sell) 😉
@@MPerski Great point about the master bedroom and the corner turn! Thanks for watching! So many choices but we just want to see them all!
Of the homes you looked at, I like the first one. My favorite is the Robin.
@@DisMindy5767 Nice! Thanks for watching!
Unfortunately I think the Morse family has destroyed what Harold Schwartz meant for TV when he said “Live like a millionaire on a retirement budget”. Seems it’s more about them increasing their Billions $$ than about the residents. Sad! Thanks for the videos, enjoying this series.
@@fierceflyer5 Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Picked the TallPine and love it!! Guest and bath with pocket door up front.
Nice! Probably the most important thing that we learned is we want/need a 2 car garage. Unfortunately, we still have too much stuff!!
Love all your videos! Thanks!
@@sunshinedaisy9879 Thanks! It takes awhile to put out a good one!
Very informative! I especially liked that you shared your list of what you wanted, and showed us how each model met or failed to meet each of your goals. Well done!
Thanks Doug!
Thank you for doing such a great job with showing the model homes. We are coming in September for our lifestyle visit!!!
@@LifesLittleAdventures28 Glad to help. Thanks for watching!
Great video! Your criteria is so very close to ours except our budget is smaller at 375k including bond. We really like the Peeble Beach model, the main reason being that it has a front porch and in the very low 300s. We hope to be able to get to Florida in early 2026.
Edited to add: how do you feel about corner lots? We’ve never lived on one so I’m wondering about having twice the traffic.
Thanks for watching! Part 3 will have a few more models. We actually live on a corner now. It happens to be a very busy one. We have less direct neighbors but it's hard to get out of the driveway!
Great tours 😊 The Tall Pine lanai is very small indeed! The Snail Kite has no drawers under the bathroom sink…only fit for trash cans or cleaning items…ugh. Who “designs” these designer homes… Not user friendly
@@SharperMind123 so true! Thanks for watching!
Thought provoking video.
I rented a 2 bed / 2 bath house in citrus grove for several weeks, and went thru over 50 or 60 open houses, to create my "nice to have" list. My list is very similar to your list. It includes location (proximity to pools, rec centers, etc.), a "view", (avoid a kissing lanai), plus I want to avoid a west facing lanai. Based on all that i have about 8 models that meet my most important criteria.
For me, walking thru a model home (even if unfurnished) allowed me to get a feel if the house would be a good fit for me. I had found that just looking at a floor plan on paper, or my on computer, didn't provide enough sense of space, height, volume, or light.
After a year in your rental, i'd love to see a video of what you liked / disliked about your rental, the model, location, size, proximity to things you do everyday, etc.
thanks for doing & sharing these video.

@@tomr.2907 Sure! We could do that. Not sure if you saw the playlist on renting but we didn't talk much about the house. Thanks for watching!

@@IGoWhereYouGo I've watched all your video (some a couple times). after i was in a rental for a month in the villages this summer, i found that some of the "important" things on my earlier (pre-rental) lists of things i wanted in a rental, changed after actually renting for a month. some were simple and unexpected (like i found the noise of the gas golf cart annoying, or the golf cart drive time to certain places made driving a car easier / faster, or getting in a car and driving to stores / restaurant made using the golf cart for some of those things unnecessary).
you may have similar ideas that changed after renting for a year.
Nice video!!! Our two lifestyle visits we stayed in Charlotte and Newport models courtyard villas and fell in love with courtyard villas because of the privacy but did not love either of these models. After looking at all the courtyard villa models it was the Avondale model for us and the primary reson being it is very open and I can see if anyone is on my front porch from my rear living room through the window in my dining area. My two guest bedrooms are on the same side as the master but completely separated from it as they are at the front of my villa and they and the guest bathroom can be closed off with a pocket door. Drawback are I don't have much of a pantry but managed to make some pantry space in my laundry room. Also my lanai is small and side facing but we plan to extend it out the back next year on the already existing concrete padding which is quite large. But, having a golf cart garage, front porch which we will be screening in shortly, and a very private decent size backyard and being on an end lot with two gates on each side of our villa to access our yard makes up for the minuses. Honestly, if my budget dictated my ability to either purchase a small designer or a 2 bedroom courtyard villa and the 2 bedroom Durham model CV is very nice I would go with the Durham because of the privacy unless the designer had no homes behind it because for us we would not sacrifice privacy for home size. PS we are in the Levi & Boaz area of St. Johns and we met briefly last year St. Johns Halloween parade. Good luck with your house search. 😊
@@nightengale2123 Thanks for reaching out! We haven't toured the courtyard villas yet. We get what you mean about privacy! Thanks for watching and subscribing too.
I am going to be selling my house soon. I have not listed it yet. I’m in the Village of Pinellas if you want to add it to your list of preowned homes to look at. Good luck to you! Love your videos.
@@NurseSuzetteRNCMCN we would like to see it! Send us an email to: igowhereyougousa@gmail.com - so we can talk privately.
