Be sure you have one or both of the Villages GPS apps. We prefer the paid one for navigation, but the official Villages app is great for seeing what all there is to see and do here. Both apps are very helpful while you’re getting your know the lay of the land, and it’s also fun to just explore and see where you end up. The ride from Sawgrass to Chitty Chatty is fun, then over the Chitty Chatty bridge and on to the Sharon Rose Weichens preserve to walk the boardwalk.
We are south of 44 and spend a lot of time at Fenney rec, pool, grill, and nature trail around the natural springs. Fenney has the prettiest parking lot of all the rec centers because of the huge oak trees shading the whole area. The other day we counted 17 turtles and two alligators in just one area of the springs. There’s an otter fishing and playing there too.
We’ve been here 2 years now and have probably seen only 1/3 of the villages by cart because of how huge it is. We’re trying to see it all!
Welcome, and have fun! You’ll love it here.
