It's odd because this property is in The Villages and many other stores on the property are just not golf cart accessible.

So I ask does one really need to have a car to live here in your opinion?
Sure the can, Leesburg bush stops off 441, you can park in pet smart parking lot out by 441 and walk across street. Village taxi option also. Take a lot to taxi rides to cover cost of insurance and car. Village airport van goes to airport which should open up Orlando buses and trains.
