My question is, are some Villages better or considered more desirable than others? Also, is there much difference in the property tax rates in the counties wherein Villages neighborhoods are located? I'm particularly interested in Marion County Villages locations, as its a bit closer to our 2 of our 3 grown kids, who live in north FL and is also farther away from the Orlando metro area, which I'd like to avoid. I know noting about any of the various Villages developments but it just seems reasonable that some may be better and/or more desirable than others?
Will appreciate input from "seasoned" Villages residents. Thanks!
Unfortunately we moved from the Villages & only because we wanted to be nearer our children, grandchildren & great grandchildren. We first bought a Villa in a subdivision just off of St. Charles, then our 2nd home we bought in the Village of Charlotte. We loved both places, the people in both subdivisions were super. Personally I don't think you could go wrong moving anywhere in TV. The only thing I could say is, Ive heard from different people that some of the subdivisions, especially some of the older ones & I won't mention which ones because I've never spent much time at these subdivisions. Some people say the people have lived there so long that they have their own little clicks of people they hang with. But move where you want because I think you'll do just fine. There's no bad area's. I'm starting to feel like we might of made a mistake by moving. But our children made it worth while. Don't be afraid to ask questions, no matter how dumb you might think the question is. Hope this helps a little!
