We have a very old friend of ours that lived in Sun city for many years. She still has the Condo, but only comes down about a month a year now.
The dues are very high depending where you live. We looked at some homes there last year and found several nice pool homes and they were priced very nice.
Sun city is now an older community and if you are in the age group that I am (60) you will find that you are the "kid" on the block.
They have well kept homes, nice people,decent activities and shopping....BUT...there is no way they can come close what TV has to offer.
The last time we had been at TV was in 2001 and was amazed at how much it has grown.
There was no comparison, we bought a CYV in TV for more then we could have bought the pool home we wanted at Sun City, BUT....location,location,location!
There are so many things available here that were not available there.
We could have bought a new home here for less then we paid for our used cyv, but we like the block-stucco, neighbors and location.
My wife would have liked to have a pool but I had one before and that is a lot of extra upkeep and we have a pool 1-2 blocks from us here.
Just a tip:
Make sure you have an ouside real estate agent as well as a villages agent show you homes. Outside agents will show all the multiple listings and not TV listed properties. TV agents will only show new homes and Villages listed properties.
There are many good agencies to check with. We were very happy with ours.
