The Villages Florida

Welcome to this unofficial guide to life in The Villages Florida. Whether you are a resident of The Villages or a visitor, this site will connect you to the top places in The Villages. If you haven’t already done so, we suggest you visit our sister site:  www.TheVillagesUSA.com “The Villages” is located in Marion, Sumter and Lake counties in central Florida.  It’s about an hour north of Orlando, between Ocala and Leesburg, Florida. In spite of the current business and real estate recessions, The Villages continues to grow–albeit at a somewhat more casual rate than a few years ago.  Today, the total population is about 85,000.  Most of us are retired and most of us are year-round residents.  But many of our neighbors are primarily winter residents and return to prior homes in the summer months.
