When we had our Lifestyle Preview, we thought TV was a gated community. We thought we had to be accompanied by a VLS or MLS agent (or a resident) to drive through existing Villages. In retrospect, we were stupid because we never asked the question! We just observed the agents go through card procedures at the gates, and we made the wrong assumption that the communities were gated to the outside world.

So, if I had it to do over again, I'd drive around a lot more (in a car) and check out existing Villages. P.S. We bought a resale anyway, shortly after our LSP. We bought a house after we returned to Canada, from a MLS listing on the internet, without ever seeing it. Best decision we ever made.
