Another big difference is golf cart accessibility. Our home is in the established area and for the first three years we owned our home we never had a car. Easy to get from the airport to our front door and vise versa via shuttle. There really is no need to own a car in the Northern parts of the Villages. We are able to shop for anything we need, dine out, enjoy all the amenities, go to shows at the Sharon, Savana Center and the Studio at Tierra Del Sol, and play 12 different Championship golf courses, all via golf cart. The only time we wished we had a car would be to take a day trip to the beach or to play golf outside the bubble during the busy winter season. You kind of have to have a car in the new area. We did finally buy a used Florida car, from a listing in the classified section of TOV, but we barley use it. No need.
