The new areas are less than 10 minutes from The Villages Health Brownwood Specialty Care Center, less than 10 minutes from the new 24 hours UF Villages Health Emergency Room, 15 minutes from UF Leesburg Hospital, at least a dozen restaurants within 20 minutes, there are all recreation amenities there including the new softball fields, soccer and basketball, beach volley ball, air rifle, archery, 5 executive golf courses, a pitch and putt course, and a 27 hole course under construction. located in the new area is Everglade, the largest of all regional recreation centers sitting on 50 acres with all the old and new amenities. The village of Fenney is the most populous of all villages and has it's own rec. center with coffee shop, sports pool, adult pool, family pool, pickle ball, bocce, corn toss, shuffleboard, putt and play, croquet, lawn bowling, walking and nature trails, and is the only village that has a bar and grill next to the rec. center. Magnolia shopping plaza will be open within the next 60 to 90 days as will the turnpike bridge connecting the new areas to the north. Sawgrass indoor market place with restaurant and entertainment is now under construction and a new 400 acre UF hospital and medical facility is under construction. It is also less than 10 minutes to Paddock Square in Brownwood. South of 44 is the happening place and a lot less traffic. If you want traffic and a bunch of retail stores the new area is not for you. If you want everything else within easy reach in a more relaxed environment then you want south of 44.
