I would like to have a home built, are there many lots left? If I buy a lot am I committed to building immediately? Can I sit on the lot a few years, till I retire and do I have to be 55 to buy a lot?
Check with TV sales office for all the info.
Sinkholes are scary, should I be concerned about the sinkholes developing in The Villages? Sinkhole insurance difficult to get?
Sinkhole insurance was required when we purchased last year and was part of our entire insurance package.
I’m single, is there much of a singles community? I don’t like to be the third wheel riding the coattails of couples.
Not sure but I believe there are many active singles groups. You will make friends from your village so it should not be a problem at all.
I’m an airline pilot currently, are there many active pilots in the community? I plan to continue flying after retirement.
Yes, there are groups both in TV and outside TV. There are 2 airports fairly close by.
At 54 I may be in the younger half of the population there, is there a fairly large “younger” community.
I believe the average age is about 62.
I lived in FL from 17-27yo, so I’m somewhat familiar with the weather. But I lived on the coast, we always had the ocean breeze. I’ve been checking your local weather daily for the past week or two and the humidity has reached 100% everyday. I know 88 degrees and 100% humidity can be stifling. How do you deal with it, do you just stay indoors on those tough summer days?
Only you can answer that question.
Is DirectTV popular or do most stick with cable? I really like my DTV and was hoping to have it in retirement.
There are tons of threads about cable vs. dish and the various providers.
Are there one or more Catholic churches in The Villages?
Yes, there are at least 3 that are in very close proximity to TV with St. Timothy's being in TV on the far north end.
I notice a great number of golf carts, gas or electric? Can you get a golf cart with air conditioning?
Yes, but it's not cost effective. Most people get gas carts.
Some of the things I’ve read indicate The Villages population tends to run conservative. This is one of the reasons The Villages is currently top of my list. Do the majority of residents lean conservative?
Depends on what your definition of conservative is. 
I do like to boat, are there lakes where small boats (less than 25ft) are permitted? Are there building lots with docks?
No
I realize the builders are limited in The Villages, are they reputable? I suspect the home I would build would be in the $500-$700k range. I’m not locked into any number, if I find a great lot and home plan at $300k – Great!
You are locked in to the plans and builders that TV uses. You hear very few complaints about quality of construction / workmanship, and we have had few warranty issues and they are taken care of quickly. You will be looking at a Premier style home. You need to visit and judge for yourself
I know there are several “neighborhoods,” I’m sure I’ll have to visit the area to see where I would fit best but I’m still curious about your opinion on the different areas.
This is totally personal preference. You need to visit to see what area/home style fits your needs. The AVERAGE villager moves 3 time while living here. Don't discount existing homes versus a new home. Every village is very well maintained regardless of its age. Again, you need to visit to see what would work for you.
If you can change one thing about The Villages, what would that be?
What would you change about your current neighborhood?
I want to thank all those that responded. In the coming months I’m sure I’ll have more questions. Thank you and God bless.
