There have been at least 6 sinkholes between 466 and 466A. There have been 2 that I know of in the Calumet Grove area - both homes were abutted to a retention pond. Marion and Lake counties are both higher property taxes than Sumter county. About $300/year more per $100,000 of house.
The main advantage of the far north is being able to find a house with full height shade trees in the yard so that you can actually go outdoors in the summer months.
But really what you need to do is look through the list of which sports, clubs, and activities are held at which recreation centers and plot your favorites on a map and then figure out which area makes sense. Most activities have both a north and south option but not all. The more "active" stuff is going to skew south also.
