I live in DeSoto. We built and moved in a little over two years ago. There are many threads on pros and cons of north or south of 44. For me personally we are happy with our choice. I am a biker so I love to ride the multimodal paths and explore. I am also a golfer and like the executive courses here, but the championship courses are at least 30 minutes to an hour cart ride away. If you go by car most are 20 to 30 minutes away. I like the walking paths, Edna’s and all the new things going on down here with the construction of Sawgrass Grove and the new Championship course. Magnolia Plaza is nice and growing with more stores and restaurants. It’s is about a 30 minute car ride to big box stores either in Leesburg or on 441.

If you are sensitive to noise it could be an issue. At certain times you can hear the turnpike and there is a cement factory on 470 you can hear in the morning. It is really a personal choice on what specifically you are looking for in a Village.
