And the other thing to consider is that the Villages is huge, keeps growing, and traffic is just horrible in the snow bird season. You won't encounter that in a smaller development like Stonecrest.

The close proximity to infrastructure is a blessing but in the peak season 441/27 traffic is really heavy. Another community people forget about is Spruce Creek South. Now the homes in there are all frame. They have access via Golf Cart to everything Stonecrest does since the addition of the Golf Cart Crossing there at the light. If your only going to be a Snow Bird putting $400K to $500K in a house you will use for at most 4 months is not a good use of Capital, my opinion. Florida has so much to offer that people forget there is more going on then what is in your little community. I came to get out of the cold and found that living in the Center of Florida is one of my better choices in life.
