I'm aware of the North v South debates and also understand there really is no bad place to live in TV. I'm curious as to if there are better locations in terms of bonds / taxes.
I have read comments on other threads that the salespeople don't necessarily volunteer information. I'm wondering what questions / information do you wish you had asked for while you looking for your house.

How far by golf cart are the town squares. How far to a gas station. How far to a grocery store. How far to sewage treatment plant. How far to the dump. Smells travel for the last two. How far to a dog park. How far to shopping like home improvement/clothes. How far to restaurants in and out of the Villages. How far is freeway access. How Close is the Freeway. How far is medical treatment. After that, How Much? Car insurance, Sink Hole insurance, car registration, golf cart insurance. If buying used How Old. Roofs are only good for 15 years if you want to have house insurance. HVAC lasts about as long. I think that's a good starting point.
