2. Some have a metal roof. Is this a better option or will it cost more in utility bills to cool one's home? What are the pro's and cons?

3. Does one have to be concerned with being able to get wind/hurricane/sinkhole insurance?

Any thoughts will be appreciated,
Insurance depends on the age of the home. Some companies won't insure if older than 1986-87. Check with The Villages Insurances Offices or AAA.

Utilities vary on construction, insulation, roof overs. I had a roof over of metal when I lived over there. Utilities were approximately $225. including amenities.

Lawn service is approximately $40-50. a month depending on company.

Some of the lots are bigger than villas.
