Assess your needs and wants. "Different stroke for different folks."

The Villages is planning to develop for I believe I heard for the next 15 years. If that's the case and they would even remotely entertain abandoning areas in "north" then that could mean eventually they could potentially abandon Brownwood and the 44 area as the new old north.

One can endlessly worry about each old "north." People are currently building slab houses in the historic section north of 441 without the developer actually building them. Drive around up there and you will see a couple in progress. T V is going to be working on the SS bridge I believe as well. All signs indicate they are not going to abandon that area.

I do not think T V would abandon the area that was created as the original "dream"... or would the 4th to future heirs let it go?...

Now that I think about that... who knows with kids now days and what will be of value to them in the future.

Examine the areas and pick the one that pulls on your heart strings. "Home is where the heart is."
