We're looking at TV for retirement soon. There's some nice houses and nice neighborhoods up north of St Simons, in the Nancy Lopez/Hwy 42 area.
It seems it's a long way to Spanish Springs, even longer to Lake Sumpter. The Morse compound seems like it cuts off that area from rest of the Villages.
Please, educate me so I don't write off an area from lack of knowledge. Your pros and cons are appreciated!

We've been in Santo Domingo village about 11 years now. We've been really happy. Most houses here have the bond paid off. Traffic in this area is generally not bad even in the busy season compared to southern areas of the villages. We do have the occasional daily speeders driving 30 miles an hour on some side streets, but that's everywhere now. A lot of restaurants and bars have closed up in Spanish Springs but hopefully they will be replaced by others. The way the villages are slapping up new houses with fewer features I personally would not buy down south. Just my opinion.
