I was a Realtor before I moved to The Villages. Congratulations for making a great choice. To answer your question, I chose the area north of 466 for a couple of reasons. There are a LOT more restaurants, banks, shopping, groceries, etc. in the older area. Things are easier to get to by golf cart or just walking. The newer section, on the other hand, obviously has newer homes with more contemporary features -you will see a lot more CBS (concrete block covered in stucco) homes, and frankly they are prettier. Homes in the section below 466 and above 466A are usually a shade more expensive than those above 466. I'm not really all that familiar with below 466A, someone else will have to answer that.
