If you choose a new neighborhood like we did, then everyone is new to each other and very interested in starting friendships. If you choose an older neighborhood, people are very interested in welcoming you and starting friendships.
Being really close to the squares is nice if you want to go there every night and dance. But.....the cart ride to the square is fun too, with the warm breeze blowing through the palm trees and people out riding too, passing you in their colorful golf carts and waving at you.
All of the neighborhoods have a mix of homes, villas, cottages, designers, ranches...except for the all Premier neighborhoods like Bridgeport, Bridgeport on Lake Sumter, Lake Miona and others. They are really nice, but not so much different from any other neighborhood really. All of the neighborhoods are really nice and well kept. I happen to love the deed restrictions on the south side of 466. (Wait. I need to hide

.) But there are those who enjoy having no restrictions on landscaping or lawn ornamentation.
I found that the new houses were no more expensive than those that have been lived in. The resales had a lot more additions, but I am picky and like to make my own additions.
There is a perfect place for you. Welcome
