Reader’s Digest names the Villages ‘Florida’s Nicest Place’

THE VILLAGES, Fla. — The Villages bills itself as “Florida’s Friendliest Hometown” and now the retirement community nestled in north central Florida can back up that claim.

Reader's Digest named the Villages the Nicest Place in Florida.  Senior editor Jeremy Greenfeld tells News 96.5 WDBO their readers shared several personal stories that made the Villages the winner of a recent online survey.

“When you move into the Villages, you’re really not just a neighbor, you’re not just a tenant.  You become a friend automatically to so many people.  The roll out the  welcome mat for you.  There’s always a welcoming committee and they make it clear that, when you have problems, you’ve got people around you can depend on,” said Greenfield.

The Villages is now up against 49 other friendly places.
