Transcript:
we chose the village after having looked at many other places which had apartments we didn't want to be in an apartment we didn't want to be in a duplex we saw some nice duplexes that had no parking spaces so we came to Windsor Mead the villas are here they have the parking they have the independence that we want and insist upon and they're lovely I like the idea of having a place that's all my own and I can come and go as much as I want without disturbing anybody and there's a high degree of a sense of security here we are a gated community and we have we're checked out by security coming we can have our friends come in and we call security and tell them they're coming but 24/7 there are security vans that circle around the community and this is the first place I've lived in decades where I didn't have an alarm system everything is right at your fingertips here in the villa and I really enjoy that I used to have a house that was 5,000 plus square feet and I would run myself to death in that house here everything's at your fingertips everything's new and I really like that and I like the storage facility that's and a two-car garage which some places don't have and the fact that I can get in my car or I can walk to the shopping centers here and occasionally I'll do that one of greatest things about living in the villas is having a full kitchen I love to cook I have at least 300 cookbooks I used to have 800 I've been cooking for many many years and I have everything I need here to put on a gourmet dinner also here we have an organization called culinary journeys where some of the ladies get together and we exchange recipes and cook them up in one of the other villas and that's a lot of fun the management worked with us hand in glove to get certain upgrades done we had a special storm screen door put on for instance and we're having a pergola built in the backyard and so we have the options to sort of customize our villa so that not every villa looks the same even if it is the same model and I love the neighbors I have some wonderful neighbors and we are always if they had a fence would be talking over the fence but we can sit out on our patios and wave at each other and invite each other over for drinks or what have you I can't remember any place that I have been so welcomed that we have been so welcomed as we have been since we've been here in the 6 months that we've been here we have met all kinds of people we've been entertained we've entertained it's just a super place to be there is so much to do here that you really need two lifetimes to do it you
