I will agree about looking at Lyle Gant's web site (and I am not affiliated with him; I am just another TV wannabee). I get MLS listings for TV resale homes e-mailed to me about twice a week from him, which is something I signed up for. If a listing is in foreclosure, the listing will say "REO/bank owned" in the description. I also go one the The Villages web site on a regular basis to look at resale homes in my price range.
If you can rent a home in TV for a couple of weeks or a month if you have the time, you might have a better idea of what it is like living in a particular village. I have been able to rent in several different villages over the past few years, and it has helped me to see which areas of TV I prefer, although all areas of TV I have rented in have been great. Good luck with your search.
