senior, it's probably all going to hinge on what you like from a shopping standpoint and how much of a walk you're willing to undertake.

First, here's a link to all of the Villages owned shopping and dining properties. Click on the shopping area name for an individual layout:

If you take that info and look at an overall map of TV's residential areas, you'll have a better idea of how long of a walk things might be from where you might be considering staying/living.

Keep in mind there are other non-TV owned commercial properties (shopping, dining, etc.) in the area that you won't see on any of those layouts/maps - along 27/441 on the north/east side of the road as well as on both sides of the road south of Rolling Acres Rd. Much would arguably not be within reasonable walking distance for most people, though.
