You might try the LifeStyle plan through The Villages for a couple of weeks while your looking, if any are available. I know they do have some people scheduled that have to back out which might open one for you. OR RENT. This place is too big to just come down and buy. You will find some areas are more age oriented meaning you might end up in an area where there are not many neighbors around your age which can be an issue. You might really be into something like Softball, yet the house you jumped at is 40 minutes from the ball fields. We rented a villa for 5 months and felt comfortable enough after 3 months to buy in the area that we felt met our needs. Close enough to a town square can be an issue. If you like visiting the entertainment at the Squares yet, it is a 40 minute golf cart ride, that will eventually bother you, especially on cold evenings. It makes the ride home a long one. My suggestion is RENT, check out what you like doing the best at TV and go from there. They say the average is now up to 4 times people move in The Villages. Don’t make this mistake by jumping in and buying cost you one of those 4 moves. But, no matter what, just know you have picked the best place to move to. This place is awesome.
