Default For All Intents And Purposes...

...the soil on which The Villages has been built basically has no nutrients in it. It's about like beach sand. That's not to say that plants won't grow here. But you will have to amend your planting area before planting and then fertilize and water aggressively. If you do that, you can grow just about anything that can take the hot sun. Even some plants that get a little "sunburned" after planting will fairly quickly adjust to the hot sun.
