Here is an interactive map for Leesburg. There are some flood zones south of Lake Dedham area. Bridget, Vanbeck, Tanya, Newell, Gary, Ralph, Christian, Wettstien, Meggison and Schroeder are problem areas. As far as taxes, from what I understand Leesburg has their hands in the millage till up to the Lake County line, while Wildwood has everything south of 44 in Sumter.

I do have some basic questions based on reasonable conjecture:
1) Were lot prices reduced because of flooding charts and additional costs to the prospective homeowner?
2) Reduced prices seem to correlate with a time period where interest rates are higher making someone look like the good guy? Was this the plan all along to get the most for the Villages dollar on otherwise questionable real estate?
“Full steam ahead on the flood zone area we bought! Hurry, interest rates are going up! We can finally ditch this swampland!”
