We live a mile from the turnpike and occasionally hear it when the wind is blowing in our direction. We never hear it in the house.

We love it south of 44. I rarely go up North for anything. We have plenty of grocery stores locally and shopping in Brownwood and Everglades with new Walmart presently going up at the corner of 44 and Morse Blvd. All my doctors are down here with the Villages specialties building nearby and a great stand alone ER at 44 and Meggison. The Villages health only takes Medicare Advantage plans (most all of them), not regular Medicare.

My husband uses a wheelchair and our Veranda (designer with fenced yard) home needs no renovation for it. All doorways and halls are extra wide, no thresholds instead including walk in shower, etc.

We bought our house sight unseen via video. It has a view of water in the backyard. Best thing we ever did. Go with your gut feelings on something. Yes bonds are high and you have a lot of competition. I wouldn’t be surprised if lake lots at Eastport will go for $200K-$350K just for the lots. That is prime real estate.

The Villages is made for disabilities. You are coming to the right place.
