Our experience was that we could get more much more house for the money in the Spanish Springs or Sumter Landing area. We also like the fully developed landscaping and huge trees. Our house is 4 miles from SS and 5 from Sumter Landing - about 10 minutes by golf cart. We also have cart access to several grocery stores, many restaraunts, drug stores, Lowes, you name it.

The flip side is that our house is 20 years old with all the normal issues associated with a house that old. Residents tend to be older too but that is changing as they (literally) die off and younger folks move in. My cul de sac is about half and half original residents and new.

Another downside is that the developer has decided to build apartments in the existing residential areas where it is feasible. This has been vehemently opposed by the residents to no avail.
