If you're thinking of moving here full-time, don't rent during snowbird season (basically November to April). The prices are WAY higher, everywhere is crowded and you get the foolish idea that the weather is this gorgeous all the time. Rent in a hotter month so that you can feel what it's like when it really warms up. It's too much for some folks but if you find you can tolerate it, it can be great living here year round. In addition to there being lots to do in The Villages, Florida has a ton of great places to visit, many of which have great pricing for Florida resident. And there are significant tax advantages to being a resident. Of course, if you plan on being a snowbird yourself, rent during snowbird season.
