I would suggest that you rent a home first with less sq footage. We thought for sure that we needed 3,600 ft house and a housekeeper at least once a week. Just like back home. Well, we are in a 2,000 sq ft home and a housekeeper once every two weeks and I am not sure we need anything more. I was totally surprised. Especially if you have a large pool area. They are not building Premier homes anymore but you can get Premier features on a new home. I.e. 10’ ceilings for your lanai. My fantastic housekeeper charges by footage. I only pay her $100 a visit. She would charge more than that for a larger home. Don’t forget the pool maintenance cost. Please be sure you understand your bond payments. It’s different here in The Villages. Many places have the contractors pay for the infrastructure ... not here. You are paying for that! Good luck. You will love it here! Welcome in advance!
