Be careful - easy to overpay. "Water conditioning" can be loosely broken down into "water softening" and "chlorine removal". You can get a big box store system that does both for perhaps $800 and have one of the local plumbers install it. You can also get a bit box store "water softener" for maybe $500 and add an external chlorine filter and have a local plumber install it. Google is your friend - do some research before making a decision.
The water in The Villages is "hard" but not excessively so. There is a fairly high chlorine level which is why it taste funky. A water softener removes the hardness (less water spots and less soap required plus less scale build up on appliances) and a chlorine filter removes the bad taste.
