We live in Santiago off El Camino Real and can avoid Morse entirely. There are lovely golf cart paths along El Camino Real to Spanish Springs and along Buena Vista to Lake Sumter Landing. The one along Buena Vista that takes a detour next to Saddlebrook golf course and has arching trees overhead is one of the prettiest rides in The Villages.
As far as the house goes, make sure your inspector checks the roof, the HVAC and for cracks in the stucco walls (if you get a cement block house) and the concrete floor. Our 1999 cement block house has been as solid as a rock - we actually slept right through the category 1 hurricane that came through a few years back. We have replaced the roof, the HVAC, the screening on the birdcage and the hinges on the kitchen doors in the 7 years we’ve lived here. We got rid of the carpet and now have laminate floors. None of these things were surprises and seemed to be factored into the lower price we paid for an older house.
