Welcome to The Villages! I love it here and was fortunate to purchase a new home in Caroline 10 years ago. Lake Sumter Landing was fairly new at that time.

When people first move to TV, they tend to frequent the squares a bit more than they might after being here a while. Do you think proximity to the squares is very important on your list of things you want? If so, I'm sure there are many fine homes you could consider for purchase. Home prices are based on square footage, upgrades, lot size, throughout The Villages. I'm not certain that homes located closer to the squares cost more just because of location.

Previously owned homes may offer upgrades and mature landscaping giving you more time to get right into your retirement fun, though setting up a new home can be fun, too. After you've been here for a while, you'll notice that all Villages are nice and some things you thought were important about house location, aren't as important as they first were. I'm assuming a golf cart purchase is being considered....and getting anyplace in a golf cart is fun...and the time seems fairly quick.

Have fun in your search...you'll have so many home styles to choose from.....enjoy!
