Have you considered doing a Lifestyle Preview Visit through The Villages sales office? The visits last from 4 to 7 days, and I believe the Lifestyle Visit folks are put in villas near Brownwood Paddock Square. The Lifestyle homes are very well appointed. A real estate agent will show you around, but you don't need to spend all of your time with the agent. You also receive a golf cart to use during your visit, plus other amenities. Although you won't be able to see all of The Villages in 4 to 7 days, a Lifestyle Visit may give you an introduction to what The Villages has to offer. The Villages has grown a lot, especially in the last 6 or 7 years, so there are many areas to choose from and many housing options to consider.
