If you have the option to rent (anywhere in TV) I would recommend doing that for a year. As many posts say, each neighborhood is different and the home price range is huge. Some Villagers move two or three times before finding their perfect home. Rent, spend the time looking around. Find out what Rec Centers host the activities you like best, and then make a choice.
Good idea to rent first. We did that for 6 months and acquired a great education on all we needed to know about activities, houses, contractors, traffic, areas and streets to avoid, etc., etc., etc.! Be sure to attend some POA meetings and checkout their web site- Property Owners' Association of The Villages, Inc..
