Also, we were already fairly familiar with the Villages because we have friends who had already been living there for several years who graciously invited us to stay at their home several times.
Our list looked like this.

Based on both our timing and criteria we were pretty much limited to pre owned homes. We rented long term in the fall, retained the services of both a VLS agent and MLS realtor, and identified every home on the market that appeared to fit within our criteria (including a few homes for sale by owner). Very few of the homes that fit our criteria had a pool because of our price constraint. During the next three weeks we saw a few homes almost daily until we saw a total of close to 50 homes. Every home we visited we began our tour outside, and we never went inside almost half the homes after going into the back yard and seeing no privacy, hearing traffic, or hearing/seeing someone we found undesirable.

First of all, AZ is a heat that lacks much humidity - they are different beasts with which to suffer.
Second of all, please don't tell me you prefer Sun City / Sun City West over The Villages! They are old, outdated, with dry rock landscape, little greenery, and just plain old earth tone boring colors. But you do you
P.S.- Not sure I'd brag about being from Arid-zona. Guess that's just me.
