I understand the majority of new construction is occurring in the south. In 10 years, what will be a central location in the (fairly) newer areas of TV? Assuming "build-out" is actually defined and not changing all the time due to new land purchases and on-going construction, where might the northern part of the southern-most section of the Villages be? Before the recent large shift in southern growth, the most desirable area was near the center of 466a and 466. Where do you think that area might be in 10 years (which are probably being built now or recently or soon)?

Thanks.
We visited spanish springs first then south of 44, and all the town centers. I suggest you try to do the same. We purchased just north of 466a because we like both Lake Sumter and Brownwood and are now equal distances from both. We are interested in the eastport lifestyle center and may consider purchasing their when complete in a few years. I don't think there are any "bad" areas of the villages, so I suggest you focus on the amenities that you are interested in. We would like to be a little closer to shopping by golf car (1.5 miles by car and 3.5 by cart due to having to navigate around to the 466a tunnel) but mostly use instacart now anyway.
