I disagree, coming north of 44 won't be a big deal since the Villages below 44 will be independent. If you live above 44, I propose that the novelty of driving below 44 will wear off and you will settle into your neighborhood if you elect to buy preowned. When we moved here 3.5 years ago we moved south of 466A and many thought we were crazy for going so far south. Folks tend to believe that The Villages revolve around where they live, and frankly for them it does. Those that live north of 466 love being close to all the shopping, those around LSL love being around the most favored town square and those of us south enjoy the more open spaces and wider MM paths plus access to nature. The other thing that was important to us was a neighborhood that was new, that had people moving in that were searching to establish their own identity. We had been cautioned by others that breaking into an existing neighborhood would be a crap shoot, some neighborhoods would be receptive of new folks, others not so much. It's a risk that only you can evaluate. One of those things you won't know till after you invested. My view has been that most Villa's have a higher concentration of seasonals. I suggest you go no less than a designer, find a new neighborhood which will help form community faster and then choose the the land size you want keeping in mind that everybody here is close to each other. Our choice was a corner lot behind a house that was abut 60 feet away. The house our left is 15 feet away so we can have lanai to lanai chats...lol. We landscaped heavily with palm trees and high growing bushes that provide additional privacy and can be trimmed to whatever privacy we want. There are a lot of considerations involved. Feel free to PM if you have any questions on what I provided.
