Trying to figure out where things are from afar is not easy sometimes. The Villages has a nice map that they sell for $5.00 and AAA has a map of The Villages that shows a little more than just TV so it helps you to get your bearings a little better.

We felt like once we were outside TV, there wasn't much out there. When you rent in TV you should get a residents' ID that allows you to do things that the residents do: Katie Belle's, golf, rec centers, and gate passes (even though you can still get through the gates - but that's another thread.)

Even though I had looked at the population stats and the square miles covered by TV and talked to people I know who live there, I was still surprised at how big it is

If you are planning to rent to really get a feel for the place, make sure that you are actually in TV. I think part of TV does have a Lady Lake address - or used to - but I don't know if everything in Lady Lake is in TV.
