The chain of lakes would be a nice "plus". Unfortunately, we just drove past Leesburg but never had time to explore it as we did Mount Dora and Tavares.

In looking at the homes for sale, it seems that all building has stopped, although the homes appear to be fairly new and quite spacious at lower prices with, of course, less ammenities than TV offers.

Just wondering how close in actuality is Leesburg as far as being "their town"; population 18,000.

On our flight back north, we met a nice widowed lady enroute to visit her family in the farmlands above Albany, New York. I told her I'd save her a seat on the plane as we had the early boarding pass.......and I did.
She held my hand the entire time as she wasn't sure if we'd be landing back in snow or not............anyway, she really liked the Plantation, which she and her hubby found after touring the entire state of Florida when he retired from the police force.........

I've looked at the site, but although the golf course frontage pool homes are only $245,000 approx. with 2 and a half bathrooms, 3 bedrooms and large greenspaces around..........I'm wondering if someone would feel "stranded" out in the middle of nowhere..............or is it close to Leesburg ?????? Thanks in advance. It looks very "country" and green.

Not even close to what The Villages offer!!!!!!!!!!
