Have friends who live in Lakeside Landing. It has a wonderful pool with a waterfall, pickle ball, tennis, craft room, and exercise equipment. Pretty much the same amenities you will find at any of the Villages rec centers. The HOA fee includes cable and lawn maintenance. There are a few clubs. Choice of homes include condos that sell in the $230,000 range and newer concrete block homes between $320,00 to $450,000. I believe construction of those homes began in 2016. You will need a street-legal golf cart if you plan to enter the villages to visit the squares or nearby family and friends. I think the HOA differs depending on the type of home. It is somewhere in the $250/month range. This may have recently increased. I do not continually question my friends on what they are paying.
My friends travel frequently and chose Lakeside Landing because outside maintenance is taken care of and they have no worries while they are away. They sold their home in the Villages a few years ago and are quite happy with their decision.
If your plan is to save on monthly expenses vrs the Villages, you will not find it there. Same property taxes, insurance, etc. You can easily find a home in the same price range in the Villages.
