I don’t know if this is the area being discussed for apartments, but I alway thought this would be a perfect place to have another family neighborhood similar to Oxford Oaks. As The Villages grows there must be adequate housing for all of those who work within The Villages.

As for those like to complain about growth, I drove by Saddlebrook at 9:30 this morning. There wasn’t but 3 or 4 carts in the parking lot and the course was empty. I think we will be ok.
However, Pickleball courts are becoming quite crowed with more snowbirds yet to come. And my wife is having a difficult time reserving space in a below 466a rec center for her card playing group. I guess it all depends on what you see and or what you are trying to do.
