They may also start looking at you as the "young people" that can help them out with the things they can't do anymore, or transportation to their Dr. appointment.
More shopping up north. But if Amazon and Walmart deliver, what do you care? Drive up there once a month if you need that fix.
More square activity. Brownwood and Sawgrass are generally packed. Spanish Springs? Not as much, and look at all of the closed stores.
If down south, you have all of the new things, not to mention Middleton. And Eastport is coming. There is something about looking at young people walking around, and just experiencing a feeling of vibrancy. I don't get that around Spanish Springs.
Closer to Orlando and Clermont. Airport, shopping, and unique restaurants. And personally, I have an antenna in my attic that pulls in all of the Orlando stations for free. Not sure that would work as well up north.
Just my thoughts. Your mileage may vary. Good luck!

There are MANY residents in the 50-65 yr old bracket in the north. The squares in the south are crowded because everyone is new. Stores and businesses close throughout the Villages REGULARLY. Have you been to Sawgrass? Not the same as when it opened, is it? Ednas on the green? Not the same!
