Note: not all the homes there are 20 plus years old. The northernmost end have homes built between 2016-2019. There is a beautiful new rec center and the area is a hop skip and jump away from many good restaurants and stores.


Yes, thank you. We will definitely be looking in the northern section as well. However The Villages Hospital is of concern to us as we have read/heard many negative comments as to the quality of care there. We've heard a few positive comments as well though. We're trying to figure this all out.
As far as the others are concerned, as I wrote earlier in the case of a critical life threatening situation you will be brought to the closest 911 receiving hospital. The other hospitals will not come into play. Distance is not a problem until it is I suppose.
