By all means, use a golf cart to get around as much as possible!

As for houses, do not just go to new homes or homes South of 466A. Great homes in Villages of Caroline, Mallory Hill, Bonita! The bond on older homes is a lot less than on new homes. You will have a bond of $25,000 to $55,000 on new homes and you will be able to find homes with no bond on older homes.

Homes in established neighborhoods hold no surprises on what might be built close to you or what a neighbor might add to his home. You will have established landscaping, do not have to pay for extras like downspouts, etc.

Use BOTH Villages realtor and outside realtor. You can be open about it as both realtors know smart shoppers do this.

Go to Lake Sumter Landing for the evening music. Enjoy a cold beer at RJ Gators overlooking Lake Sumter and an outdoor dinner at The Lighthouse. Talk to Villagers!! We are all happy to share our stories of how we came here!
