When this community is built out there will be 110K folks (give or take depending on the time of year). So we're a mid-sized city and not like the small towns some of us have moved here from. Larger cities calabrate the distances by minutes...how long it takes to drive here and there. It's said that there will be plenty of commerce built down along 44 and I'd suspect some more on 466A towards Wildwood. There's also room for some things by Colony so I'd not stress too much. The builders don't do anything til they view it's needed...they do their homework so know how to do it to fit the needs. For the people down in Buttonwood...you'd have to go by car but Wildwood does have a Winn Dixie and a CVS...and they're not bad stores. If you explore the surrounding areas there is Walmart etc along 441/27 in Leesburg as well. It takes some getting used to but eventually one does acclimate with time here.
