I thank everyone for their replies. My fiancée and I will be down again in the winter to begin kicking the tires so to speak. I still am not 100% convinced (after about 5 visits to TV) that it is the place for me. I see many plusses to the Villages but also cringe at the sameness of the homes, the "Disneyland" feel, and HOA style ownership (very few in my area).

Not sure how long your visits have been but if, after 5 visits, you aren't convinced this is the place for you maybe you should explore other similar communities across the country to compare. This place isn't for everyone and trying to "make it fit" probably won't work.
