That story is over…….move on.

Franklin,
If you are driving your tow car into The Villages, I'd suggest meeting with your sales agent (Villages sales or outside MLS agent) in one of the three main town squares....in each, there is a golf cart store where you can do a daily rental of a cart (about $40).

Be very careful in learning rules of paths if you are only carting around for a day.

Seeing The Villages by Golf Cart is a necessity prior to purchase. Agents don't have access to carts to lend. They can take you out by cart to view locally located properties in a Sales Center cart, but they drive. The carts for lifestyle visits are parked in the garage of the lifestyle units and are exclusive to that unit. Your best bet would be to rent a cart from one of the Villages owned facilities and ask them if you can leave it in their lot overnight when you are back in Ocala. Any other rental facility you may have issues with overnight parking. The last time I checked, the Villages Golf Cars don't take reservations during the busy season. I hope that is helpful, as many on this site are not so helpful...

The short answer is No. A lifestyle visit entails renting a house from them.

OP’s Post #20 “leaving the RV at home” doing a lifestyle visit.

Makes sense to call the sales office and ask?

When you book a lifestyle visit, you can tell them you're looking for pre-owned in neighborhoods north of 466 or 466A. They will accommodate you, as long as you know to tell them that from the very start.

Their primary job is to fill vacancies. Their emphasis in doing that is on new construction, but filling vacancies in resales is also part of their job.

Unlikely.

Well I did hear that katie belles was wonderful and was told I will miss i:boom:t.

Good question!

Actually none of us jumped to the wrong conclusion… The OP specifically said he was coming to the villages for a "lifestyle visit".
I'm pretty sure 99.99% of us understand what a lifestyle visit is. You come down here and they put you in one of their homes and you live like a villager for a few days. The OP obviously did not understand that. They are just coming down to the villages to meet with the real estate agent.

Guess you missed the snarky comments……….

Well THAT would make too much sense!!!

I think you are pulling our legs Stu. No one needs to do anything to sell a house in The Villages. We are a very sought after and desirable place to live.

You will find many singles live here and many couples too and you will also see that most people who live here are retired from successful lives and choose to live among like folks. The homes cost a hellofalot more than they did three years ago, but so does everything. EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE. The Villages sales people do not need to pressure you or trick you or accomadate you to get sales.

The Villages is the most sought after area of its' kind in the entire country.

NO. I don't sell houses, never did and I don't work for the developer.

I am just another satisfied VILLAGER.
