Some reps didn't even take them into any Rec centers, country clubs, etc...the reps are there to sell houses and some, not all, leave out the best part....the lifestyle ! You need time to strike up conversations with residents, don't forget to go to the squares at night. One of my friends said they asked even there was a hospital nearby and the rep told them about Leesburg and Ocala....forgot to mention the Villages hospital. So, enjoy your short time here, but do strike out on your own. Also it's very different experiencing The Villages in a golf cart!
Thanks for the reply. We'll be staying at the Waterfront Inn, so it looks like a short walk to the square? Looks like I need to investigate north of 466.
