From our experience, do a LSV, come down several times (several nice places to stay in TV and near by, we didn't have the time for a lengthly rental) and come at different seasons. If you decide to take the plunge get a Villages realtor along with an MLS realtor to expose yourselves to all of the pre-owned property available. This forum gives you a wealth of info to graze on in your spare time. We tried to do as much research as possible checking out "Leisureville" by Andrew Bleckman from our local library, a critical assessment with comparisons to other retirement communities, their forms of government and successes and failures. TV not for everyone, thank goodness. Best of Luck with your retirement plans whatever you do and where ever you go.
