We are 60 years old. Can you recommend a neighborhood that fits your description - a bit more established, homes that a few years old, landscaped. etc.

Dusty Star and Orange Blossom Baby mentioned " "north of 44 & south of 466A. "

Could you please offer some village names in that area so that I may look at a map?

Again, many thanks to all!

An advantage to this area is that it is in unincorporated Sumter County. That means that you will not be paying taxes to the city of Wildwood. Or any city, for that matter. This will save you about $1000+ per year on your property taxes.

Also, this area is 5-10 years old, so the bond has been paid down by quite a bit. The total amount is smaller, and the yearly assessment is smaller. Some may even have been paid off in full.

And, it is served by SECO Electric, a cooperative with the lowest electrical rates around.
