Yes, North has a little older owners...........but you ain't buying them (not directly).

More established stores up North, but that is a "short-term" difference.

Good Luck.
Will the southern end of The Villages ever have the amount of retail stores, restaurants and medical facilities that the 441 corridor already has to offer? How many years will it take to ever have those offerings? I honestly don't think I will live that long.

I can recall a TOTV thread from a couple of years ago that made me chuckle. The OP of that thread asked about restaurants he could take his visitors to in the Fenney area. The answer was "The Fenney Grill and Edna's on the Green (a food truck)". LOL.

Our first look at The Villages back in 2013 on our lifestyle visit, we took a drive down what has become our "stomping ground" of 441. I made note of all the retail stores, restaurants and medical facilities. I wrote down all those that were familiar to us. After that short run on 441, I said to my husband, "we can live here". Being close to all that 441 has to offer is most important to us. Others do not feel the same way we do and this is why that good old real estate term is so true........"location, location, location".
