I just returned Fri. after three days. When looking for a home be sure to check
www.thevillagesFSBO.com website as that is where I negotiated a great price for my cabot cove villa. These homes are for sale by owner and mine was willing to sell below her cost to get moving. Sales have picked up in TV esp. with Fall arriving. I signed the P & S ON Fri., closing via mail Sept.17 I spent time checking out home and golf cart insurance quotes so I can activate it via a phone call just before closing. Possibly check out the various golf carts, plenty of places on rt. 441, the further away from TV the better deal you'll get.I enjoyed the Sumter Landing evening live music with a friend, although there are plenty of sports bars which I will get to know loving my Boston sport's teams.. . When looking at homes, be sure to check where the waste water treatment plant is regarding your home as they are scatterred about the villages.Depending on the winds, you may have an unwanted"smell" blowing through village occassionally. Get a TV street map as I went around in circles one time and I thought I was good in directionality.I enjoyed driving around the neighborhoods to get a feel of the area, esp. the southern new development of retail stores along rt.466A for the Colony Plaza area to be developed. Everything is soooooooo green and beautiful, what a pleasure. I didn't have time to golf as I was so pack with getting this sale info but I look forward to hitting a few. The club houses of the country clubs have tv's for viewing. All the other posts have great ideas also. Have fun and good luck..
