Normally you need to be north of 466 for bond to have been paid. I am in the historical section across hwy 27/441, down by dog park. 1 it's 15 minute walk to down town Spanish Springs, depending on where you live in the historical section. 2 Bond has been paid. 3 Hospital for what its worth is across the street. 4 with in 2 miles is a super Wal Mart, Winn Dixie, Aldies, 2X Publix for Grocery shopping. Home Depot, Lowes, BJ's whare house, Walgreen's, CVS, as are more shopping areas. As being the oldest, it is also the most developed for business around. While the houses are close, they are probably the most open in between with out being enclosed by a wall around the lot. Probably about 5-7 older manufactured homes being replaced by stick build per year , Historical doesn't necessarily mean old homes. I am from WI 2019, about 5-6 months up north, rest of the time down here. Each year it's been slowly drifting in time how much I spend there verses here. 1st year campground opens mid April, well it's still a little cool yet, next year 1st of My was fine, but then next year it was going to get down to 25 for 3 nights 1st week in May, so it was the second week in May. On the other end, its cooled off, its wet and windy, what the hell am I doing here, I have a place that's warm dry and sunny, so each year I leave a few days earlier before campground closes. Have a trailer in a campground up north. I've moved once from being on the #9 hole golf course to being on the lake. A whole .5 miles Over all the Villages is expanding south. When I was down for a visit in 2016 for 3 months, Brownwood had just opened up on the southern end. Now Brownwood is about the middle of the Villages. Something like 50k more acres to expand. 20-30 houses per day sales, even through covid. Check out houses for sale villages.com? You can explore houses, types, costs. I had 5 houses to explore when I came down in 2019 from looking at sales. Bought the 3rd one. Hope it helps or get you to thinking at other aspects to consider.
