Attached is a Screen Shot of the Sumter County GIS system, of a typical area in The Villages. Please note, "property lines" do not extend to the paved portion of the road. Property lines are typically at least 10' from the actual paved portion of the roadway and that land does not belong to the homeowner (I'm getting conflicting stories, whether it belongs to TV or the County ... my guess is that TV owns it) Whoever owns it, it is part of the road layout (taking) and the public has the right to use it.
Per Sumter County regulations, most Roadways in the county are now a minimum of 50' in width, with 24'-26' being paved. TV is a little different, as it's permitted as a planned community.

Note that, in courtyard villa areas, the streets are private roads, owned and maintained by The Villages, including the right-of-way. In most other areas, the road is a county (or city) road and the right-of-way is owned by the county or city for road maintenance and possible road widening.
