My impression is the North (Spanish Springs & Lake Sumter) is closer to established stores & services, more scenic. Long-timers & more mature 
South (Brownwood & Fenny) is newer, younger retirees & still building out all new services & town squares. Also seems more buggy in the miles of cleared flat farm land being developed. Close to the future expansion.
Pros & Cons ?
(took all the great advice & renting in different areas before buying) |
Like wow, where do you start? I've been renting in the villages for the last six months at a different home in different parts of the villages. Made offers on existing homes only to be outbid each time. I decided to purchase a new home in Citrus Grove (less money) for a new home, and very close to saw grass. I knew buying here will take time for the buildout to occur so I have to travel a lot to different places to do the things I like doing. Within the next ten years Citrus Grove will be the center of the villages and have lots of commercial properties. I will be able to access the turnpike in a short distance going down Meggison Road. The new town square will be two circles from the new Southern Oaks Bridge. Things that seem so far will grow up around me. The are too many pros and cons for buying. Each village has its pros and cons. Do your homework and it will make sense for you to buy where you do.
