I would recommend On Top Of The World, in Ocala FL. They are a much smaller and REALLY GATED community with used homes and new homes, in many styles and prices. Some have a higher HOA fee and includes your lawn maintenance and other things and then there are other sections with a smaller HOA fee but you get less.

They have added lots of new amenities and new recreation buildings and pools in the last few years too.

Even though you don't own the land your home is built on, you get a 99 year lease so what difference does that make!!!

The fact that it really is GATED unlike the Villages who lie about this being a gated community is a real plus. They have also added a new frontage road so you now have access to a bank, a new Publix and a few restaurants accessible by golf cart.
