My husband and I are 60. Our #1 priority was a golf/water view plus a pool. We searched ALL areas of the villages for a designer or premiere home; we even looked at lots. In the end we chose Briar Meadow for these reasons: Mature trees and landscaping. Can walk to the Lopez restaurant or pool bar. Groceries, gas, Walgreens, dentist, bank, doctor, etc. are just a 3 minute golf cart trip away. There is less traffic in the snowbird months. Sumter and Spanish Springs are a 12-14 minute car trip but we only go there 2-3x month so it's not a big deal for us.
Make a list of your priorities and shop with that in mind.
