If we still love it, then rent for a few times to get the lay of the land. Talk about no pressure. We did ask him to show us a few houses and within 4 showings we now have an idea of what we like. While showing us around, many folks waved and said hello to Justin, seemed to me he knows everyone in the Villages.

Spent the rest of the week getting lost exploring the Villages in a Golf Cart. Rented a car for the last two days and now I have a basic understanding of how to get around. Lookiing forward to our next visit this winter. Still have some trepidation about traffic and long lines.
So much to learn.

Thank you all for your wisdom and sharing your knowledge here on TOTV, I am going to need it...
TF, Glad you enjoyed your first LSV so much. I think you are smart to come back in the winter for a second LsV so you can see what the busy season is like if you have concerns about crowds and long lines.
