Is it worth buying in The Villages?
The unemployment rate is 0.5%, which is pretty low. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

I've lived in Old Town for about 3 years now, so I can give you a pretty detailed perspective.
it's not perfect but it works for me. When I first moved here from Austin, I was surprised by pet-friendliness. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Nice parks and green spaces
- Good healthcare facilities
- The food scene scene is underrated
The downsides:
- Property taxes are high
- Far from beaches/mountains
Overall I'd rate it 9/10 for singles. Give it a chance - it might surprise you..

I have mixed feelings honestly. When I first moved here from Phoenix, I was surprised by school system. It took some adjustment but now I wouldn't trade it.
A few things worth knowing:
- Growing food and restaurant scene
- Lots of new development happening
- The traffic scene is better than expected
The downsides:
- Limited public transit options
- Limited entertainment options
Overall I'd rate it 7/10 for couples. It's not for everyone but it works for us..
