I live in one of the newest villages. Up until about a few months ago, the developer was building designer homes with block and stucco. They're now building them with tilt wall construction which is supposed to be stronger against hurricanes. The new homes have gas. Water is separated into potable and non-potable.
I am 15 minutes away from Leesburg Hospital vs 35 minutes from The Villages Hospital. 50 minutes to MCO.
I've been very happy with the quality and accessibility of health care here.
