1. We are at least two years away from possibly moving to the Villages - is it better to do the lifestyle preview when you are ready to buy? I did a lifestyle preview visit this past October, and I am likely more than 2 years away from purchasing in The Villages. I wanted to do a lifestyle preview visit before the build-out occurs (2015? 2016? who knows?)

2. Is there sales pressure to make a buying decision when you do the life style preview, or can you check out the area without pressure to buy? Hopefully it's not like those "free timeshare stays" if you attend a sales presentation! No pressure at all. I spent about 3 hours one day looking at homes with the sales agent assigned to me.

3. How long would you recommend staying for the lifestyle preview? We have 7 days available at the end of August - deciding whether to do a 4 or 7 night stay. If you have 7 days available, I would stay all 7 of them. I would give The Villages sales office a call (if you haven't already) to see when they are taking reservations for August lifestyle visits.

4. Any suggestions to get the most out of a lifestyle preview stay? When you are in the squares (Spanish Springs, Lake Sumter Landing and Brownwood, or in restaurants, stores, etc., don't hesitate to ask residents about their experiences living in The Villages. Most villagers are happy to tell you about life in The Villages.
Thanks in advance,

Tim
