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!
There is no "p" in Sumter. I live up North and wouldn't live anywhere else. I can get anywhere I need to go by golf cart. I have no desire to go to the south. Sumter is as far as I go. Cons? There are some homes that are unkempt but there are more that are well maintained. We don't have "cookie cutter" homes and have more leeway about lawn ornaments.
