Renting before buying really boils down to how much homework one has done prior to moving here. If one has done little research or maybe just one lifestyle visit, then I would recommend two rental periods - one maybe in the Lake Sumter area, and then another south of 44. Both areas are great - but it will come down to personal preferences as to what area appeals more to you.

Prior to moving here, a day didn’t go by in the five years prior I wasn’t online researching real estate, reading the Daily Sun and other online news sources, and watching every single video on you tube about The Villages. By the time I started visiting The Villages, I felt I knew so much already, and had a great understanding of the geography and lay of the land prior to my first visit. I was able to narrow-down where I wanted to live rather quickly, and now one year later, am very happy with the decision I made.
