Default We had no idea that there was such a big lake right above TV

Relying primarily on our navigational system (rental car and I-phone) last year in THE VILLAGES.........not thinking to bring along a Florida paper road map, we had no idea that there was such a big lake right above THE VILLAGES in Marion County.

Instead we drove all the way over to see Mount Dora's lake and also Lake Tavares and the rest of the Chain of Lakes..........not realizing Lake Weir was right above us, a shorter distance as far as a morning drive went.

Has anyone, prior to buying in TV, looked at the homes around Lake Weir?
They seem to be promoting baby boomers who have big RV's, big boats, love kayacking or water sports, and motorcycles (which we do not have).

It says no HOA fees. The lake looks to have a small sandy beach.

What surprised me was that they claim they are 8 miles above THE VILLAGES and close to all the restaurants, shopping and medical facilities of The Villages.........

Just wondering about the quality of the place.......meaning construction of homes, general NOISE level with all the choppers, larger lots as they claim????

Thanks in advance for anyone brave enough to say they looked around Lake Weir..........which is very close to TV.

Last year I had inquired as to whether or not there was a place for my husband to keep his big boat (other than a storage parking lot), meaning a boat mooring, a deep water dock, etc.......I'm now wondering whether they can do that at Lake Weir? Mount Dora was mostly sailboats and bassboats.....smaller craft.
