Location is everything to us. Just as important as the home model we now have.

Our 1st home here did not have a golf cart garage and was in excess of 5 miles to a gas station to fill our cart, which we use a lot here. Not just for golf but for errands & yes, taking our dog for a ride every day.

Our second home here has a golf cart garage & is a 1/2 mile to a plaza which is a big deal to us.

Also be sure you ask your realtor about water treatment & landfills near you. There are several inside The Villages & they do emit odors especially in summer.

Just a stone’s throw outside of The Villages in the southern area is a federal prison. That may or may not be an issue to you.

And of course highway noise in some locations is something to consider

Good luck in your search. You will find the right home
