I just returned from my lifestyle preview and had a great visit. One of the thing I did when I left was pickup The packet that they send to you if you request a free video tour from thevillages.com website. This is the third one I got and the DVD is new and the packet has a lot of useful information including floor plans and model names. It is worth getting. One of the enclosures is a monthly estimated cost of living that has on it a Development District Assessment which will vary depending on the unit and I believe is the bond payment as a monthly fee, which goes away when the bond is paid. The Amenities fee is a separate cost of $130 a month for free golf on the executive courses, swimming, tennis, activities, neighborhood watch, etc. If you buy pre-owned the bond is paid on some of those so it would not apply. Going down for a lifestyle preview is a great way to get a feel for TV.
