I just don't get it- you would think it would be located halfway between Morse & Buena Vista (east to west) and halfway between 466A and the southern most route (north to south) in order to maximize the number of Villagers that would have easy access to it. I guess they're not marketing just to TVers.

The Brownwood location makes sense to me. The first two squares were off Morse, so it seems sensible that the final one would be off of Buena Vista.
Not sure the relevants of it not being close to Sanibel. It will be quite close and convenient to the Villages built on the western end of third phase of TV. It's no different than say, LSL not being as close to Buttonwood on the current south side or SS not being that close to Chatham on the north side.
It's definitely not surprising that the new square would be either close to Morse or close to Buena Vista because the squares do need to attract area residents.
As for Wildwood being a poorer community, Sumter County was one of the poorer counties in Florida until The Villages took up so much of the land in the county. Now Sumter is one of the richer FL counties. The soon-to-be SW residential section of TV, the Brownwood Town Square and resulting ancillory development nearby will do the same for Wildwood.
Many of us who hail from suburbs throughout the country live in territory that was rural and poorer before the suburbs expanded to include it.
Here's to the upcoming Brownwood Square!
