Possibly, a home centrally located to a couple of golf courses would work for us. We really gained some useful info on this trip and can't wait to go down again!
By the way...we ate at Glenview, Havanna and Mallory and have no complaints about any of them. Would frequent them all for sure!
We live full time in The Villages, near Sumter Landing Square, and find that the night time entertainment is not a draw for us. But we do feel we made the right choice with our location because, as you said, we are centrally located within a 10 minute golf cart ride to about 5 golf courses: Cane, Mallory, Havana, Palmer and Tierra; we also love being close to Sumter Square because of the grocery shopping, variety of stores, restaurants, and movie theater. Its so much easier to find parking in a golf cart as opposed to a car. We're handy to grocery shopping at either Sweet Bay or Publix. We absolutely love the convenience of being close to everything. All in all, I think location adds to the value of one's home.
