So you visit for a certain amount of time and find the village best for you.

Some like being close to the town square for music, bars, restaurants and other outdoor enjoyment. I like that I'm a short 10-min golf cart ride to Brownwood. Or some may like a golf course near their backyard.

Some like being close to doctors. I like that I'm a 5 min car drive away from the health clinic. There's even an ER clinic at the end of my main street.

Some like being close to stores. That one I had to adjust. 5 min from a Publix, 16 min from Walmart. I do the closer one for a quick pickup, but for other things I have to do the 32 min round trip for Walmart or the 1-2 hour (24 min away) for Sam's. An adjustment from having stores 5 min away from me at where I used to live.

Some have complained about the turnpike noise. I live close to it and it hasn't bothered me at all.

Maybe you want brand new (my choice) or maybe you want older and established.

There's plus and minuses, maybe pick more pluses.

My initial visit was last year Thanksgiving vacation and I was given the tour.
