Carefully consider where (geographically>North>Center>South) before you get serious. All new homes will be considerably south. Resales you can find anywhere. Eight and a half years ago we purchased a resale far north, in Calumet Grove. Initially I wished we had been more centrally located, but as time has passed we are very comfortable "up north". To some location may not be a huge issue but get comfortable with your desires prior to making your decision. Only other recommendation - get a gas cart (250ish mi. range) with ultimate seats if you plan to enjoy exploring The Villages in comfort. A battery cart is quieter but your daily range is limited and after a couple years the driving distance will decrease as the batteries age.
