Arthur Carlo is a World Golf Village resident who has given back immeasurably to the community he calls home. Art has served as the President & CEO of Cascades Homeowners Association since 2007. We recently had the pleasure of talking with Art.
Q: How did you come to call Cascades home?My wife, Rosalie, and I wanted to live closer to our grandchildren. We looked at several 55+ communities in Florida, including in Orlando and North Florida. From the moment we drove into World Golf Village, we were impressed. The landscaping and the planning gave the community a welcoming sense of arrival. When we toured Cascades and learned about its amenities, it clearly was a notch above. I call it a cruise ship lifestyle without the water. Then Rosalie fell in love with the kitchen and we knew it was home!
The Cascades is one of the most desirable Active Adult communities in Northeast Florida thanks to its supreme location, privacy, and full array of activities to keep residents aged 55 and older enjoying retirement! Join Davidson Realty agent and retirement living expert Ron Savarese and me as we tour all The Cascades at World Golf Village has to offer.
The Cascades is comprised of 450 homes at build out with only 65 lots left to build. This private, gated community offers 24-hour security and is located right near the center of The Village only seconds from The Slammer and Squire golf course, the World Golf Hall of Fame, Murray Bros Caddyshack restaurant, the 3D IMAX Theater, the PGA Tour Stop, Villagio Italian Grille and more!
It was a welcomed mid-week treat when I headed just 10 minutes down the road from World Golf Village to the St. Augustine Visitors Center to view the Picasso Art & Arena exhibition that arrived February 1st. I love an “art break” for clearing the mind and inspiring creativity, and I didn’t have to trek 30 minutes into Jacksonville to visit MOCA or The Cummer. My daughter Gracie and I took our field trip after school.
Summer vacation is just around the corner, but planning can be difficult. Where to go, how to get there and of course, the cost!
