I find the older the residents are in need of security to have shopping, and doctors within few minutes of their home. Maybe uncomfortable driving any distance to do so,
Younger residents seem shop 80% retail and grocery shopping online, 20% and up to hour drive to a grocery they want to buy food at.
Rarely need a fitness facility due to the safe walking/running trails. Younger residents seem to run out of the bubble often for entertainment, dining and retail. We zip up to Gainesville, Disney, over to one of the coastal areas once a month. If we dine out it’s o er to Orlando, Tampa, or anywhere out of the bubble

We did not mind ordering items on-line. Each time we ran out of bread, milk, aspirin or cold medicine, we had to drive 20 to 30 minutes to pick it up.
It is easy to say you do not need a fitness facility. I am 60 yrs old and injured my knee. We had to travel 40 minutes to get to fitness machines that would help my recovery. Doctors? 40 minutes away.
Restaurants? You can count the number on your fingers. Each one serves below average food. Another 40 minute travel time to add to your day.
Let's not forget the plans for a new hospital has been scratched. The choice in the south is one-star rated Leesburg Hospital, outpatient care, and a small emergency facility that was crowded each time we needed it.
