As to the OP, it seems to me that a golf cart ride from Fenny to Brownwood would be a once in a while diversion - doable but not convenient. As to where to live, we have been coming for 9 years, first in Summerhill - we loved it and thought it the best place to buy. Then we stayed in Hemingway and thought it the best place to buy. Finally, we stayed in Sanibel and thought it the best place to buy - and we did! I have talked to people in the "historic side" that wouldn't live anywhere else. I've talked to people in the northwest corner......wouldn't live anywhere else. Likewise the Spanish Springs area, the central area, the Brownwood area, Fenny, etc. etc. In other words, the best place to live in The Villages is likely in The Villages. Every location has something similar, and something unique to offer and most people can find something that appeals to them anywhere. Personally, I think Sanibel is the premier village in TV, based on personal experience, but I am certain there are varied opinions that are also valid.
