Good luck in your search. My wife and I are in the northern part of the Villages, Woodbury. We have found that being closer to (outside the bubble) shopping works for us works better. We like being able go to major retailers within 10 to 15 minutes along Rt 27. Yes there is traffic. It comes with the territory. We just shop when it's not as busy. Our neighborhood very neighbor friendly. We both are part of Breakfast groups that meet regularly. There are both Men's, Woman's and couples Golf groups if you like to play Golf. Easy Golf Cart ride to Public's, Mulberry Rec Center, less than 30 minute cart ride to Spanish Springs & Brownwood. We have a neighborhood Christmas party. We enjoy the Squares but not every night. Generally once a week or less. Like most Neighborhoods we have an active AED group that maintains the AED stations within the Neighborhood. As we age this is an attractive aspect. The Bonds on the homes tend to be paid off. Our home is 20+ years old. Newer Roof and Air Conditioning system. Something to consider. It makes a difference when you are shopping for Insurance. Our home is a nice size home and the lot is a little larger than down south. Some of the homes on the market have been updated some have not. Ours was not updated. That gives us the ability to customize the way we want to with out ripping out renovations you don't like. Good Luck in your search.
