In other words, it will take you a while to get to and from activities at the other end of The Villages, or even in the middle.

With a more-central location, a couple can get by nicely with a car and a golf cart. At either end, you may find that you want two cars--unless you like really long rides in a golf cart, which some people do.
Easy access, by car, to Rt 301 and Rt 27/441 easily solves travel time problems and you avoid lots of traffic by using Rt 301. ..and besides, what's the hurry?! Our area of The Villages is a little bit of heaven.
