Wellington

A fair number of Unionville residents head south every winter to enjoy the sporting and social life in Wellington, Florida, which the Wall Street Journal in a June 21 feature dubs a "hub for billionaires and horse lovers, from Gates to Bloomberg to Springsteen" (the subtitle reads, "Wellington may be one of the few places in the world where it is possible to get a pickup game of polo"). The effusive quotations from the real estate brokers, residents, riders, polo players and developers in the story are entertaining to say the least, and the estate prices mentioned will probably bring some smiles. As one real-estate agent is quoted as saying: "Wealthy people like horses. Wealthy people's kids like riding horses. It's a relatively small world."
