The new Creekside Cabanas are currently for rent at $100 per night until Jan 1. Then the rate till Apr. 1 will be $175 and will then be reduced again for the non-prime months. These new furnished homes are complete with a golf cart and within walking distance of the Sumter Landing square. So, you can make your own lifestyle preview. If you do come for just a couple of days you will still get a pretty good feel for life here, and you can learn a great deal, especially if you prepare ahead. I would introduce a new thread here, something like: "The 10 Must Do's in a 48-hour 1st Visit" You will get enough suggestions to fill a visit lasting weeks and you can sort out the most common ones and what appeals to you. Just look at everything and ask people what they think of The Villages.
Don't worry about details. We ended up buying our house over the phone and every question we had was answered on the phone or the internet. It would have been even easier if we had known about TOTV.
FIOS isn't here yet. I laugh at your reference to Comcast. They aren't wildly popular, but their inefficiency has become only a tiny life aggravation. Cable is underground here so it is more stable as long as you get a good initial hookup. Dish and Direct TV have problems with weather outages.

come on down!
