Looking at the planned areas is gonna one big big place The Villages Land Co. has submitted master plans for three areas totaling 1,620 acres of the Villages of Southern Oaks development to the Wildwood Planning and Zoning Board. The plans for three areas were recommended for approval and will likely be taken up by the city commission alter this month.

Wildwood added 5,664 acres to the Southern Oaks area last year, nearly doubling the number of permitted homes to 49,339. The number of permitted homes often is higher than the number actually built. Condominiums and apartments also are allowed in Southern Oaks.

If all permitted homes are built, Southern Oaks would nearly double the size of The Villages, which currently has about 65,000 homes.
