We moved into our Villa mid-April, and because of the constraints imposed as a result of the coronavirus, our introduction to all that the Woodlands has to offer has been very much limited. We are absolutely satisfied with our Villa! It is spacious, seemingly well-constructed, very bright and clearly designed to accommodate the lifestyle of people of our age and stage. The Woodlands staff and contractor have both been very responsive in addressing our punch-list and other related requests.

We have recently been able to have dinner with other Villa residents at the Carriage House , wearing masks and keeping appropriate social distancing. As a consequence we have been able to meet, at least on a limited basis, a number of our neighbors each of who appear to be very pleasant. We are looking forward to having the opportunity get to know our neighbors better socially, as conditions permit. We would be remiss if we didn t comment on the quality and quantity of our meals, which under the circumstances have been wonderful. The Furman catering staff deserves a special shout out.

One of the features which drew us to the Woodlands was its proximity to and relationship with Furman University. Obviously, we have not yet had access to the Furman facilities which has been shut down as a result of the pandemic, but we both participated in the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute during the summer semester. There was a wide selection of classes to choose from. The classes were held via Zoom and were both interesting and instructive. We are both looking forward to the fall semester, and to the day when we can have access to the campus.
