There is one difference in that The Villages Real Estate office is not part of the MLS realtor's network, so they can only show you listings with the Villages. To see other listings you'll need an outside realtor. On the other hand, if you're just trying to get a sense of the place, grab a Daily Sun newspaper...there are tons of open houses every day and you can just drive to the ones that interest you. As for access...the Villages really isn't a gated community. At every gate is a red button and if the gate is unmanned, just press the button and bingo you're in. Good luck. It will seem a bit overwhelming with choices but all are good and something will strike you as right. It really is a great place to live.
