I wonder how many hours per week your friend had to run her generator.

Our Annapolis MD Generac propane- fueled whole house generator used to run for 10 minutes every Wed at 11:00am to check all systems. After losing power one winter for 2 frigid days due to ice and also frequently losing power in 100degree heat, we decided to invest in a generator that would keep the furnace or AC running along with the lights, well pump and sump pump. What peace of mind it afforded us each time the power went out and the generator kicked on effortlessly!

But, can we have one of the big generators here in the Villages?

Just a few thoughts: check your deed restrictions (online at districtgov.org) and since it would be a permanent structure you may need to go through Architectural Review. Depending on where you live, you may need to bury a propane tank. If you are serious, I would start by making a few phone calls to your CDD.
