Lots of people who visit and read this blog regularly originally came here because of information I have posted about The Villages retirement community in central Florida.
Well, The Villages just got a little more famous. This past weekend the Wall Street Journal published a review of Leisureville: Adventures in America’s Retirement Utopias.
One of the “utopias” chronicled happens to be The Villages. You can also read an excerpt of the book here.
Leisureville comes on the heels of another “ville” book called Nextville: Amazing Places to Live the Rest of Your Life by Barbara Corcoran.
If you’re looking for solid advice on buying a home and living in The Villages don’t forget to check out The Villages Florida Book.
Update: TopRetirements.com just posted a review of Leisureville as well as a review of The Complete Guide to The Villages. Go check it out.

Weren’t homes in the Villages destroyed or damaged severely in a hurricane last year of the year before?
