The Villages' small but stately clubhouse has a media room with books and computers as well as a fitness center with state-of-the-art cardio and weight-training equipment. The outdoor swimming pool is kind of oval shaped, nestled next to tall palm trees and has a patio with room for lounging and sunbathing.

Vilano Beach is about 20 minutes to the east of the Villages, and locals like to come here for sunsets and sunrises. Clubs like Marsh Creek, Palencia, and St. John's have helped put St. Augustine on the golfing map.

The nearby Twelve Mile Swamp Conservation Area permits hiking and wildlife viewing. Perched on an island across from St. Augustine, the Anastasia State Park is popular with bird watchers, campers, fishermen, surfers, and kayakers.

Flagler Hospital is accredited by the Joint Commission. It is nationally recognized for its clinical excellence, patient safety, emergency medicine and more.

Florida:

Sticking out into Hurricane Alley, Florida was a land no nation seemed to want. Ruled successively by Spain, France, England, and the Confederate States of America, the state had a backwater reputation. Other than St. Augustine and Pensacola, there were few cities. The area was rural and populated by frontier farmers.

In the late-1800s, changes came when railroads began chugging down both coasts. Industrialist Henry Flagler's Florida Easy Coast Railway even made it all the way to Key West. The Great Florida Land Boom, the build-up to World War II, and the space industry also helped turn Florida into one of the nation's most populous states. In 1900, there were about 500,000 residents. Today, there are more than 20 million, almost 351 people per square mile.

Why do people keep coming? Tourism marketing is one reason. Annually, millions visit Orlando's theme parks and the state's 663 miles of white sand beaches. Taxes generated by the billion dollar vacation industry allow Florida to prosper without a personal income tax. Budget-sensitive retirees have flocked to its cities and shorelines.

If you can ignore the hurricanes, the state's climate is relatively mild. Only five other states are sunnier. Florida's system of state universities and community colleges is sizable, and its big cities are meccas for culture and the arts. Sarasota is a good example. Its Ringling Museum Complex contains internationally known art museum, a circus museum, an historic theater, and a 66-acre garden. Museums near Orlando range from a Zora Neale Hurston gallery to a Madame Tussauds.

Who Buys in a 55+ Community?

Age-restricted communities, at least those for residents age 55 or better, generally appeal to people seeking a sense of community with other people from similar socioeconomic backgrounds. Most developments are gated or at least have some type of secured access and appeal to retirees seeking a sense of security. People who enjoy lots of amenities, planned activities and social interaction also buy in 55+ developments. Just an FYI: newer communities tend to have a younger demographic while older communities usually have a more mature set of residents, primarily because residents in older developments purchased when they were younger and have stayed put.
