We wanted a house with a view - that was it. Now that we've lived here (Hadley) a year and enjoyed the view, I am grateful that we are also near both of our rec centers (Odell & Colony), our neighborhood pool & mail station, a shopping plaza (Colony), 466a and Morse Blvd. Getting to two of the squares (Brownwood & Lake Sumter Landing) is a bit of a trek by golf cart, but definitely doable. We've been to LSL for musical entertainment five times in a year, though I go more frequently for shopping or movies. I use our car a lot; hubby uses the cart for golf. I find I can get to all Drs, Sams Club, and most places all over TV and even in Leesburg in under 15-25minutes (maybe a little longer when the Snowbirds are here - how quickly I forget). I have a good friend in the far reaches of Tamarind Grove who is near her mail station but far from main roads, rec centers, shopping centers etc. Come and rent for a month or two unless you decide exactly what you want relative to your location.
