We'd like to be generally closer to Lake Sumter than Brownwood or Spanish Springs, but closer to the Springs wouldn't be a huge problem.
Is there a resource that pinpoints the shopping areas accessible by golf cart (and is it "car" or "cart"  ).
Thanks. |
Welcome. Its Cart; the Villages tries to call them Car but it never really caught on.
You can easily do 2 months without a car. The Villages app has a section for Business and Shopping that lists all the stores; about the only thing I have found hard to reach (at least from a southern area) is a real hardware store-but you are in a rental so you won't be buying that stuff!. Hopefully you will be too tired from having fun exploring to shop; there is a Publix and a Walgreens in every shopping area and Winn-Dixie and CVS here and there. Bealls (pronounced Bells-don't know why) is a big store for clothes/assessories and there are 4 or more locations next to the Publix here and there.
You most likely will have to rent a postal box from a place like the UPS store or Safe Ship; I did when I rented for 3 months in Dunedin.
