We came down for a week on the Villages preview plan. We went to all of the open houses we could find and talked to different agents. We went and visited the town squares and recreation centers also and spoke to everyone we could. We decided that we needed a courtyard villa for our dogs because there is a wall all around so they can go out and roam around freely. We considered old and new construction but then decided on pre-owned because we wanted to be near Lake Sumter Landing because it was centrally located between Spanish Springs and Brownwood. We felt we were getting the best of all worlds and were not disappointed. There is definitely something for everyone.
