We had rented twice near Spanish Springs and liked it so well we just knew we would buy in that area when we moved here two years ago. We rented for 6 months, giving us ample time to search for a home and neighborhood. With Brownwood being developed we determined that we might prefer to be more "centrally" located so ended up buying in Largo and loving its central location. It's also conveniently located off of Canal Street where we are more comfortable on the cart lanes than those N of 466. It takes us 30 minutes to go to Spanish Springs or Brownwood and about 5 min to Lake Sumter (by cart).

The area between El Camino and SR 42 seems to be a bit out of the way to us and pretty far from the squares! After being here two years, it seems that we rarely meet anyone who lives in that area.

We really like Spanish Springs so South if 466a doesn't appeal to us either but if you want a new home that would be your only choice at this time.

Once you get in and meet your neighbors you will be happy in either Village! Good luck!
