I would also want to steer clear of that area due to the close proximity to Wildwood - which is not Southern charm - but a rural, blighted area with lots of crime that might spill over to that section of The Villages. Lots of burglaries now of the appliances and hardware from the houses under construction around St. James.

Look at your map.
Wildwood to the west is only slightly closer to the perimeter of The Villages than Leesburg to the east (well really Fruitland Park) if we are talking down (or up) 466A or 44 . The two older towns are eight miles apart and the southern part of TV is between them. LadyLake to the northeast has some crime to read about in the Daily Fun too, so you can worry if you want too, I don't think it is a BIG problem. The thefts of appliances from the new homes may in part be due to some folks knowing about the appliances installed....or not. Or a crime of opportunity from people knowing that folks aren't yet living in those homes. This is NOT a blighted area or close to a blighted area. It is just as safe as any part of The Villages, and just as beautiful...!!! And just as perfect. Please don't worry.
Anyone living in the southern part of The Villages will be sharing the dirty construction air for awhile, including Duval, Hadley, Hemingway, etc.
