We did the same thing you are going to do. We stayed at Southern Oaks RV Park in Summerfield where the rates are a little better. However, Recreation Plantation is closer and more convenient. We probably would have saved enough in gas money to pay the higher rates of Recreation Plantation.
It only took us 3 days to find the house we wanted through a TV agent. We had an appointment with an outside Realtor, but never kept it. The point is that when you see the perfect house, you will know it. Whether it is 3 days or 3 months of looking.
Our experience buying a new house was that everyone else on the street is new to The Villages also. Very easy to meet your neighbors and since you are all new you have a lot in common already.
