Comcast Business offers 1G internet in some places in the Villages; you need a specific location to know for sure. It costs around $300 a month.

If you are going to build, then you are going to have to come down here for the design process and then wait about six months to move in.

There are always lots of resales available though.

As far as closing if you are buying new, The Villages has a tight requirement, but it would be best to talk to a Villages salesperson for all the details of the timing of things.

When we came to the Villages for the first time on a Friday, bought a new, already built, house on Saturday, and moved in a month later. We're still the same house seven years later.
If the OP is looking for a brand new Villa the lead time might be much less than six months, as they aren’t buying a lot and picking a model, the houses are more or less built to spec.

That said, we too bought a pre owned home. Closing was 30 days and then it was ours to move into.
