if you move to Lake County you'll most likely have a newer home than if you bought in Sumter
many of the folks living in the villages in Lake County are still 'new bees' and look to connect with others...the folks in Sumter that have been there awhile might have established their circle of friends...so it might be easier to integrate with your neighbors in Lake County
I feel that the taxes are reasonable, not 'off the chart' as some on this thread are indicating...and I look at it as another way to help the community where many of the people that we depend upon to provide the services in TV live with their families...but if $1K is a huge concern for you, then Sumter County may be your best bet. Taxes there only went up in Sumter 25% last year...
Duke Energy is not the provider in Lake County, you'll deal with Leesburg Electric...which in the 4 years that we've been here has been outstanding and reasonable rates
It's all about location, location, location....and what you can afford
Good luck figuring it all out
