IMHO the most central areas built to date are Citrus Grove, St. Catherine and Cason Hammock. They are all close to Sawgrass and not far from the current construction of Eastport. The down side currently though is that they are 15 minutes in the car from Publix on the north (44 and Kristen), Winn Dixie (soon to be an ALDIs) the Oakwood and another Publix off 27 and the same to Magnolia Center.

I’m sure if you wait for a while, you will see more villages even more appealing and 44 will have a lot more retail. A large hotel and huge pickle ball complex is already getting approval right across from The Baker House across 44a.

Currently the largest square (Brownwood) is almost 30 minutes by cart.

Dabney and Newell are too far from most things, but closer to the turnpike on ramp and Leesburg shopping eating on 27. Costco is less than 35 minutes from the gate on 470. There are rumors of a country club and championship course in the plans and more retail across 470 just east of the enclave.

If you move south of 44, yes you would enjoy the most updated experience. Ask yourself if you can wait 5 years down the road for it to be similar to the northern areas.
