I am also a Live Oak tree fan!
We planted one at our home in Clearwater some 20 yrs ago. Driving by that home now, the tree looks simply majestic. We stopped and talked with the current owners. They told us that the tree added 30K in value to the home upon a recent appraisal.
We have a Water Oak in this yard, as part of our landscape package. We can't wait to have it removed and a Live Oak put in it's place. We are south of 466A, so there aren't as many beautiful trees as there are in the northern part of The Villages. We will do our share to add to the mature landscaping look. The do grow much faster in the first 10 yrs than you might think. As they get older, their growth slows down.
But I also like Magnolia trees too. Call me crazy! (Just not within earshot please!)
