We had watched several hours of YouTube videos prior to visiting. We really weren't surprised by much after arriving other than the vast physical size of The Villages. Things were pretty much as advertised including the general friendliness of most people.
On day one, we thought we wanted to buy pre-owned, until we eventually saw the vast differences in new vs old homes, plus the demographics were more suited to us in the newer areas where almost everyone appeared to be in their 50's or not much older than that.
Once we realized we were going to look at only new, then it mainly came down to what was important to us for location which was mostly distance to amenities (Hogeye path, groceries, golf, rec centers, etc) and then the actual layout, size and price of the home we picked. It certainly wasn't something that we needed to waste weeks or months on.
