"Distance from the squares", IMHO, is a low priority for most full time residents of TV. In fact, I've heard complaints from folks who live near the squares about the traffic and more hectic pace. A new neighbor in our northern village, who moved here from a place near Sumter Landing said it well: "When people started passing my golf cart in the tunnels I knew I had to get out of there. The peace and quiet here is heavenly!".
Things that seem to be more important include: price of home, including the bond and "extras" which come with many resales; absence of traffic, noise and major nuisances like trains, golf course problems, etc.; privacy; beauty of the home and surroundings; easy access to shopping and recreation centers; orientation of the home to the sun path; and the perception of what the immediate neighbors are like.
Homes which are the best examples of the above characteristics can be found everywhere in TV. The "North or South of 466" discussion is off the mark. In a few years we will be hearing "North or South of 466A?", which will also miss the mark.
