We also frequently go outside of the bubble and enjoy being closer to Leesburg, Inverness and the Golden Triangle (Tavares, Eustis and Mt Dora). The turnpike is just a short distance from us and we can be in O-town in 45 minutes. Brownwood will expand as the "build out" gets closer and there is plenty of commercial space available along 44.
I agree. I preferred a new home in a new area. Top to bottom in TV is not far. My other concern (just my opinion/concern), there are more run-down homes in the historical area, than in the new area. (don't hammer me, just my observation and future concern). Hate to have a new home next to something +20 years old. Just me.
