Great location, but many lots close to turnpike. Question - I don’t mind a distant hum of noise, but how far away from turnpike should I be so I don’t hear much noise?

There are significant natural, traffic issues or noise problems for most living anywhere in The Villages. You could have a home on Morris where cars zoom by day and night, or you could live directly on Buena Vista with the same issues. These roads run north to south through the old and the new, and visa versa. I suggest you locate an area you like and isolate or “pad” yourself from your largest concerns, whether it is golf balls, alligators or traffic hum. Then go from there for your dream home. Truly it’s a balancing act of what you want for location and daily amenities verses personal nuisances.
PS. Meggison could be like El Camino in the coming year. It is something you should consider for the newer areas.
