If you're thinking about buying *new* (as in, custom built just for you in a brand new area of the community) then ask for a Lifestyle visit in Brownwood, or Fenny if available. If you're hoping to buy either "pre-owned" or "in an established area with mature oaks and minimal new construction" then if you have a choice, ask for a rental in or near Sumter Landing.

We're at Brownwood for a few days, we leave tomorrow. Everything we wanted to see and experience between 40 and 60-minute golf-cart ride away, or a 20 minute drive. I really REALLY wanted to see a bunch of homes in Spanish Springs, some of the newer rehabilitated homes in Orange Blossom, and maybe a few things west of Buena Vista but north of 466. We were only able to see a few homes in 5 days because the back and forth was just too much. If we were able to stay near Sumter Landing, everything we would've wanted to do (including dinner and dancing in the Sumter Landing town square) would've been no more than 20 minutes by golf cart, no more than 5 minutes by car.
