Have fun.
Unfortunately, I don't have that ability. I am having to rent a place without seeing it. I am taking a leap of faith in this move. Big time! I have never even seen the Villages. I made my decision based on my research and then through the people I've met in this community, through the forums. So, being able to have someone meet with the owners; - Who I understand live in the Villages - to actually see the places, will make all the differences in the world. I had no idea the photos could be old. - I'm learning so much through this thread - And frankly, there really aren't enough photos that you could expect the owner to send, that would really tell the story.
