Also, this area is so far away from any activities. If you want to take your golf cart to golf anywhere near the 466a area, or go to Brownwood or lake sumter square in a golf cart, you will need to leave the day before. Plus the added cost of Leesburg taxes/bond, why??

Those with no experience of living south of 44 shouldn’t give advice of things they can only guess.
One has to remember you are happy with your home, the bond that came with it, as did your taxes, but can’t understand why thousands are happy with whatever they’re home back up to.
Many have left the SS, and LSL areas you speak of to live south of 44.
After 3 houses starting in 2007, in the North we are finally very happy living south of 44 with less traffic, great walking paths, less retail, quick access to turnpike, parks and Shopping without it in our backyard. Bonus a much younger generation of friends and neighbors.
About 60% of residents in our village left their homes north of 44 to move south.
