New areas are going to have a looooong wait for retail other than Publix plazas. Not even sure the boasted about medical research hospital is still a thing down by Eastport...

Just sold my property south of 44. I headed north of 44 to be closer to retail. If you aren't into being close to shopping then the new areas are perfect and the price point is a bonus.
Many like us started in LSL, then half way between LSL and BW. Then south of 44 and BW, 4 houses later, we are happy with the less traffic. As younger move south, driving isn’t a big deal. Now our parents in their early 80’s groceries arrive at their front door, makes them happy.

For us, If I need groceries it’s never Publix, or WD, and definitely not Aldi. Sprouts, Sometimes Fresh Market, but TJ’s, Whole Foods, Costco, is mostly twice a month trip, along with the commissary, and Marzano’s.

I am so happy to drive to 441, Leesburg, Orlando, or Gainesville to shop. I don’t need retail within 20 minutes drive, more traffic elsewhere where with noisy retail parking, is perfect, for us. Hoping The empty lots along 44 will stay that way for awhile, but we all know that’s not going to happen. By the time big retailers hit south of 44, I hope I can still maintain my ability to shop out of the bubble, because I just don’t see my regular haunts arriving anywhere near TV
