The developer has bought enough land to the south to double the size of The Villages above Rte 44 So I would guess that if you look at the distance from Mulberry to Brownwood. That's about how far south it will eventually extend.

I know that some people are not happy about this but I find that the majority of my activities are between where I live in The Historic District and Lake Sumter Landing.

I might occasionally take a run down to Brownwood or up to Mulberry but those trips are pretty rare. Pretty much everything I need is within a 20 minute golf cart ride. I think that most people are going to have a similar experience. Eventually there will be town squares, rec centers, golf courses, pools etc in those new areas. The people in Fenney and those areas close to Brownwood might venture over the bridge, but as The Villages expands further south, the residents way down will tend to stay in their own area.

I have friends that bought in Fenney and the majority of their activities are in and around Fenney.
