I believe location is crucial. How close by golf cart are you to the grocery store, squares, exercise facility and other activities you plan to participate in. We live in the south end of town. It is approx 20-25 minutes from Walmart and approx 30 minutes to go to sam's by car, but those are monthly trips. We are less than 10 minutes by cart to the bank, Publix, the restaurants and the town square we frequent the most. We go to at least one of these every day. At this time I personally think the newest areas being built are too far from commercial and "fun" that exists today. I'm sure tomorrow will bring a thousand reasons why those areas are THE place to live. Hillsborough and Pinellas seemed pretty remote a couple years ago. Long story short, being in the Villages is being in the Villages.
