The developer does put in some amenities like rec centers, golf, postal station, and such, but no actual stores for obtaining products you need to live on a daily basis. If you want a fully developed support system...think about buying north of 466A.

And now Wildwood will not be approving any further building until the sewage plant is completed in 2027. There is a lot of commercial property along Warm Springs that cannot be built on as they have no utilities such as water and sewage. That's why the fire station is still not completed, the urgent care is still not completed, Ocala eye is still not completed, the small plaza at the Bingham Road intersection has not even started and that is also why all those boarded up old houses are still standing. There are more than enough people to support small and large retail but now without sewage it's going to be a long time before there is any further commercial building other than what has already been approved.
