For some, going to the squares grows old and the music is no longer a draw. But as you point out, the music is in the squares and the squares host the restaurants.

Two thoughts on the matter, both of them valid: One, find a location close to the squares, restaurants, and rec centers you like so you don't have to travel far; and two, buy in the new section understanding that the squares will come and you will be closest to the newest entertainment areas.

I like living between Brownwood and Sumter because they were the two newest squares when I purchased my home. Now that Sawgrass exists, Middleton is beginning to open, and Eastport is on the horizon, the areas around Central Parkway look interesting.
