Default Lots of pools

Lots of houses have pools, but not too many rentals have pools, IMO. Just makes sense - pools are always a liability issue, and if you buy a home as a rental, or plan to rent it out for a while before you move, you probably aren't going to buy one with a pool, or put a pool in until after you move down.

There are some, though. Friends of mine in Piedmont have one. They needed to move back north temporarily for family illness reasons. I think they rent thru thevillages4rent.com, just search Piedmont designers.

However, if you are renting to get an idea of the Villages, you would be missing good opportunities to chat with people at the pools and learn a lot. I'd even go to several different pools if you are also considering buying new. Try the pools in the new sections. Everything here is only a golf cart ride away, and even when it's hot out, it's not that bad in a golf cart.
