We moved here in 2010 and enjoyed taking our golf cart down to Colony Cottage and under 466A then to Buena Vista and back north. South of 466A was a building site - I think they were scraping the golf course. Even the homes just north of Colony Cottage - Village of Hadley? - were in various states of completion. We were surprised by the hills along Odell Circle - thought we'd left Florida!

It was a shame when, much later, they started filling in areas between 466 and 466A, rather than just building south of 466A. Mission Hills (just south of 466, off Morse) was a field of cows - I think there used to be buffaloes there? The area to the west of Lake Sumter Landing was also a large open space, but I guess the demand for CYVs was just too loud to be ignored.
