1. Does the Village of Pine Ridge have a bond? We didn't think so because it was in Lake County but just saw a listing stating the "bond was paid" so now we are not sure.
2. Are there pro's or con's to living in one county over another
3. Are the executive courses challenging enough for a 9 or 10 handicap player? We saw that the executive courses have mainly par 3 holes.
4. Reading the posts, it appears that the northern area is still a great place to be. Are the home values staying up compared to the other areas? We see there are more homes for sale in that area, any input on why?
Thank you so much for your input and information!

Here is a rough estimate of annual taxes on a $200K property by county:
Lake: $1960
Marion: $1720
Sumter: $1640

For these you will pay a little extra in taxes but you still won't be close to what is paid up north (of Florida).
