I will second the suggestion to rent. It is hard to understand this community without living here for a while. You will also gain an appreciation for each area within The Villages. If you decide to move, only bring down those few items which have strong emotional ties. Sell the rest and buy new when you get here. The cost of moving lots of furniture and dealing with whatever damage occurs is large compared to the cost of buying new furniture. Most important, maximize the joy in your life going forward.
