Do many people have driveway get togethers?

Does it seem too far to drive a golf car to Publix or anywhere else? It currently seems like it is too far from everything except Sawgrass until Eastpoint opens.
You have a third option in your Lake Denham vs Eastport decision - Richmond! The last part of Richmond (east of Meggison) will come on-line, maybe by end of this year. Cart ride times are approximately 5 minutes to Brownwood (I’ll often walk over in a little over 10 minutes), 5 minutes to Lake Okahumpka Rec Center and the future Harry and the Natives restaurant, 9 minutes to Edna’s on the Green, 12 minutes to Everglades Rec Center and Magnolia Plaza, about the same to Eisenhower Rec Center, 20 minutes to Sawgrass, should be about 20-25 minutes to Eastport, and is about 30+ minutes up to Lake Sumter Landing. As the Villages grows, Richmond is a good, central location to access most of the community within about a 30 minute cart ride. The only area that is a bit of a hike is the Spanish Springs area, though I seldom have the need to go that far North.
