Re: visit to the villages
Take a trolley ride. Visit the squares (but don't restrict yourself to living near one over the other -- they're both easily accessible from wherever you live). Talk to people. Have fun!
The trolley ride will give you a good idea of where you might to start looking for a home. Personally, I think each area has its pluses and minuses. A lot will, of course, depend on how much house you want and can afford to purchase. Another factor will be if you want new or pre-owned.
I prefer the older and historic section because the folliage is full, lush, beautiful. I like that there are less restrictions even if I don't like some people's taste in lawn decor. I don't mind the concept of a manufactured home. I don't mind a small patio villa. So, for me, it is north of 466.
Others prefer a new home with less problems. They'll buy closer to 466A.
Some are in the middle -- want some older growth, some landscaping, some restrictions. They're buying pre-owned south of 466.
