The existing high school is scheduled to be re-purposed as a middle school. The result will be a 45-minute commute each way for his kids, when they reach high school age. seems to be re-thinking his practice here in The Villages. Even if the Developer opens another housing development near the new high school, it would require the sale of his home and uprooting his family. Plus the trade-off would be a similarly long commute to his office in the northern end of TV.
And the effect on his patients? A similarly long commute for appointments?

New family area, will allow kids to walk or bike safely to school. New hospital and medical facilities will give practice to move within a short distance from home. I envision older practices with no children will stay north, while physicians with families will go south.
If your physician is rethinking his practice in TV, he is already looking to move, starting from scratch to build a new practice. So he can either move his practice south, or move to another city, with the possibility of lower rated education, for kids. His choice, but I am guessing some of his practice comes from the southern areas. But than again motive to move, might be an area, with younger patients, with private insurance
We drive to Gainesville for physicians visits, so that is a longer commute than his or patients move south.
