I too agree that location concerning squares, pools, and neighborhoods are a factor. In my haste to get here I am within a few hundred feet of a "Sports Pool" and wasn't aware until
after I had signed contract that a "sports pool" is not a "lounge" pool and therefore we are further away from (family/adult) pool that we had thought. We did like the privacy of a "courtyard" Villa but intend to buy a home with LARGER garage once we sell some property (if ever?) in Tenn, rent the Villa we bought and will better learn the areas. Some people can just buy a home within a couple days but after 3 trips down and (after) signing contract on a home here .... I'm still learning
Also have learned to "make sure" that once you get an "inspection" of home you are buying (still wondering if it was worth it?) that you tell your Realtor that you would like to have repairs down (correctly) BEFORE closing as my Realtor never got the point across to the seller that this was suppossed to be done....( and done correctly ) before closing!
Many things you'll learn and as another person wrote.... "Ask people about certain things" as we have learned a lot from The Villages and NOT the Realtors!!
Hope this helps
