I spent three days at Stone Creek. Very nice community. The life style would be different than TV and you have to drive a few miles to get from the community to rt 200 which has most of the stores and services you would need. Rt 200 is a plus to the community and has been growing. No need to go into Ocala if you do not want too. I would try their vacation getaway. The property was originally owned by On Top of The World. Facilities are older at on Top of the World but the location is better and you can get too two small shopping centers by golf carts. Maybe 2 or 3 miles by golf cart to any part of the property. I rejected Stone Creek due to my opinion of the builder. I would look at on Top of the World when you visit Stone Creek. It is similar to the Villages in that it started years ago (I think mid 80's) and will be building new homes for years to come so you should think of it as a large retirement community with lots of non retirement areas around it. I think the builder owned about 12,000 archers which will be built out.
