Thanks for all of that. I don't think I'm interested in way down south. The bonds are insane, and the amenities are a ways off.
I'm thinking about the 466A area due to density of golf courses and amenities/retail. Although anywhere between Spanish Springs and Brownwood is under consideration.
But there's lots of houses for very good prices up above St Simons. It just looks like it's inconveniently far from many things.

The neighborhoods in the area have mature landscaping, are beautiful, and the traffic isn’t bad and getting exponentially worse because of the rapid growth in other areas.
Cons - Hard to think of any, but I’ll try. If you are hell bent on a new home, not your best option. There have been a few sink holes in the Calumet Grove area. Taxes are higher in Marion County. It’s farther away from the town squares than other northern sections of the Villages.
