I second Carpe Diem’s thoughts. Lots of good advice by other posters too.
We had a home in Ocala and visited the Villages a few times during our winter stays in Ocala. We decided we needed a change and sold the Ocala home. This past winter we rented a home and golf cart for 2 months to get the experience of living in the Villages. There’s nothing like it, visiting as an outsider only going to restaurants and the town squares does not give you the real experience of living here. Our only gotcha is due to a family situation we can’t be here more than a few months each year.
