Greetings awe of TV (great "handle" btw)
I, too, am debating, with myself, the pros and cons of both Patio Villas and Manufactured homes. I'm leaning towards the villas but only because I favor much less landscaping responsibilities. In addition, I have received some personal messages indicating that the insurance costs are greater for the manufactured homes than for the patio villas The historic side is quite beautiful from what I am told. I will be visiting TV from Sept. 12 thru the 16th and will check out both types with a Villages Realtor and with an outside MLS Realtor. My plan is to purchase in the Spring of 2009 but will seriously consider making an offer next month if I see fit.
Have you viewed the "Singles" postings on the TOTV forum page? And, also, check out the websites of the following two (2) Villages Singles clubs:

Nice having you a member of this group....it's pretty obvious that the folks on this forum cannot be beat. They are ALWAYS willing to give educational advice about TV to the newbies and wannabees and additonal advice on just about any subject whatsoever.
