Of course, this isn’t a “normal year”. But what should know about The Villages is it’s physical size, particularly from north to south. From CR 42, roughly the northern end of The Villages, to the area south of Fenney where construction is underway, is almost 33 miles! That’s longer than the City of Chicago, by several miles!
So the answer is really three questions...
— Where in The Villages will you live? Right now Brownwood is roughly the center of TV, but as building continues the “center” will move south.
— Will you be willing to limit the range of your activities - golf, shopping, eating out, concerts or movies, doctor or dentist, club meetings - to venues nearby the village where you plan to live?
— How much time will you be willing to devote to “commuting” using your golf cart? Remember, about the fastest you’ll be able to navigate the multimodal paths, stops, circles, tunnels, etc. is about 10 mph.
Answer those questions and you’ll know whether you’ll be a two-car family, golf or full sized.
