We live in Sabal Chase, just off Canal St. Like many others in many different Villages, we think we live in an ideal location. And really, after you move in and start doing things, most locations probably are ideal, because you naturally start doing things that are located nearby.

After all, you can play tennis, pickle ball, bocce, etc. anywhere, same with cards/games/exercise classes/crafts.

If you are a gym person, decide if you want the MVP center at Spanish Springs or the gyms in some (not all) regional rec centers. I'm not a gym person, but would imagine that if you are and go several days a week, that you would want this to be convenient.

For monthly club meetings, and some weekly stuff, we go all over the place, usually by golf cart unless it's at night (we don't feel super safe driving the golf cart at night if it's very far).

Probably the least congested area is up north by Nancy Lopez or the historic side. Many love it there - bigger lots, less traffic. It is a long golf cart ride to stuff in the southern reaches, but again, just depends on what you do, and what you do will partly be affected by where you live. Nancy Lopez is a great restaurant, but we don't go much because for us, it IS far away. Truly, there is no really bad location here, but figure out what's most important to you. Someone who expects to say, volunteer at their church several days a week will want to be close to that.
