Of course everyone loves where they live so it really is a matter of individual tastes. We are 63 and 62 years old and we also love the northern section of The Villages. Briar Meadow, Calumet Grove and Chatham are just beautiful and so are all of the people we've met in the past year. The homes are lovely and have mature landscaping. We have slight rolling hills and the scenery is stunning. You'll need to drive north on Buena Vista Blvd and just take in the beauty. We like the easy access to Route 42 at the north edge of The Villages. Take a left and you are soon on Rt 301 or take a right and you are soon on Rt 27/441. Both provide great north - south access.
The homes were built in and around 2003. One of the advantages of a pre-owned home, in our opinion, is that many have the add-ons that you may want. For example our home had pavers for the driveway and sidewalk to the front door. It had a Bose sound system through-out. It had an extended lanai with tile flooring and a built in spa. The den has 11 feet of built in office cabinetry and book cases. The pull down stairs in the garage is already there. It is wired for a security system. It has an additional air filteration system, a whole house surge protector, and, best of all, it came completely furnished and the bond was paid. We have changed out the flooring and are now in the process of having some color added to our walls (painting). We are as happy as "two bugs in a rug."
(Oh, we don't really have two bugs in a rug!)
No matter where you end up in The Villages will be just fine. Good luck to you and happy house hunting.
