There is also a lot of commercial construction. We will be a short golf cart ride away from a new Sweetbay grocery store and other stores. Same with the library, which is built but not golf cart accessible yet. Looking forward to meeting you and all our new neighbors.
Sounds great and yes, my wife and I both golf so it would be great to get a neighbourhood golf group on the go. The other great thing is that there are a number of well priced championship courses to try as well, within an hour of Perdido and we have often played with couples from the Villages at these courses.
As you say most things are close and accessible by golf cart. We have played a couple of times at Palmetto Golf course and really enjoy it there. If you like to walk then Palmetto is about 2 miles over the 9 holes.
Even walking to the pool takes no time, as we go there each morning to pick up our newspaper.
Our other passtime is fishing and we will be taking full advatage of the good fishing nearby (e.g. Lake Harris) when we get back in December.
