We also spent some time at Top of The World and though you can get more property and privacy for less money, it cannot compare to The Villages. Our agent is Jim McLaughlin and he's the best! (Of course that's our personal opinion and by following TOTV, there are many more who are excellent.)
You just have to get used to the fact the pricing can take wild swings with location.
Good Luck with your search. I know we can't wait to move.
Jim McLaughlin is a fine man. He helped us find our first house and now he is helping us find our second. Honest and reliable and kind and........past 60. (Grown up!)
