Easier to get tee times on the exec courses there. People from the south will not or do not drive that far.

Houses there are mostly in Marion County which does have higher property taxes
I think most avid golfers would agree the Northern section has the best championship golf courses. I lived in the Villages during the time of planning. The developer at the time, asked for input and design from professional golfers.

The First Responders Rec Center is only a few yrs old. It was designed with input from Villagers who live in that district. It is one of the favorites of many residents.

Lots of shopping and dining in that area. You have direct access to Ocala. A city that has wonderful state park areas (hiking, biking,fishing, kayaks, zip lining horseback riding, and more). There are also many wonderful dining options and plenty of scheduled events. When you want to get out of the bubble, it is a city full of many surprises.
