Take a trolley ride at Brownwood. Rent a golf cart for a day and stop and talk with as many people as you can. Check out all of the Villages area including North of 466 which is well established and beautiful. Rent next time for a few months before you decide what you want. Remember that areas incorporated into local towns pay county and city property tax which can double what you owe. Also, many homes north if 466a and 466 have their bond already paid off saving you up to $45,000. There are excellent hospitals in Ocala which if you live north of 466 unless you are bleeding to death an ambulance will take you too, we have done it twice with 2 heart attacks.
The Villages Hospital is fine for elective surgeries and care, but their emergency care has a lot to be desired. I've lived here 22 years and totally love it. I'll bet you will too. Take your time checking it all out, there is no rush.
