Your real estate rep should be able to provide you the numbers (closing cost, bond cost (if any), property taxes, etc.) for any house you are looking at. On TheVillages.com website there is a page with an estimate of the monthly recurring costs (electric, water, insurance, amenities fee, internet, etc.). You should be able to put together all the numbers and figure out if this place makes sense from a financial point of view. The Villages does carry a bit of a premium price but I think you will find that most people believe it is a good value if you take advantage of what is available plus it is a good real estate market if you find it is not to your liking. Good luck.
