Assisted living places are Harbor Chase and Harrison. We also have a top notch Memory Care Center. These are all in Wildwood. The Moffitt Cancer Center is an hour away in Wesley Chapel.
We are a fair distance from the VA center on 42 (almost 35 minutes). However, we are less than an hour from the Orlando airport.
Natural gas services the Southern area south of 44. If you custom build you can chose electric or gas for your stove and dryer.
I’m not really sure what’s available in the northern section.

In the Northern section, the drive to Orlando Airport is approx 75 minutes. There is a small airport in Gainesville that services a few airlines. Tampa airport is not much further than the Orlando airport.
Gas is available on the Lopez/Glenview side while eletric for the villages close to Spanish Springs Town Center. The newer villages of Woodbury and Chatam also have electric.
The Villages Hospital and VA are very close. For some villages they are mere minutes away and further villages approx 10 minute drive. We are also close to all the hospitals in Ocala/Summerfield and a highly rated hospital in Gainseville.
Commercial businesses and stores are widely available throughout the ENTIRE area. We have easy access to many good restaurants in Ocala and on 466. The Lopez Country Club has always been a favorite of most villagers. We also have an easy corridor to Lady Lakes and vicinity where you will find some good family-owned restaurants and stores. In this area, you can shop, dine, doctor visits, or whatever within a few minute drive.
Whether or not you need a Medical advantage plan is your choice. People have different health needs. You will have to choose what is best for you.
Our homes are block or frame. You can find some with tiled roofs. The homes were built in the late 1990s and early 2000s. You may want to get an insurance quote before buying. Most of the bonds have been paid. If not, the balance is very low. There are a few villages that were built around 2016- 2019. They are located in the northernmost part of the Villages.
