Used homes (and some new) avail for low 100s to 300K. All stucco and single family 55+.

Legacy was a very nice community - 1,000 homes, very well kept - and a nature community - lots of open space and nature areas. It's a 20 min drive from TV Brownwood. Legacy is 8 miles N of the Turnpike ent/exit on Rt 27. Nice Social Hall, tennis, pickleball, bocci, and gorgeous outdoor heated pool, no golf but some nearby. Quite a few social events and clubs.

On the downside, there is not much shopping/activity nearby on Rt27. There is Publix/Winn Dixie etc in strip malls - but need to go to 441 Leesburg, downtown Leesburg, Clermont (south 1/2 hr) or TV. We went to TV at least weekly - and it 'called to us' all the time...

Legacy HOA is $195mo - incl cable and lawn cutting along with activity things etc. It is a very nice place to reside, esp if one desires a more quiet, bit less expensive, and lower-key 'rural' lifestyle. One can get a very good price on well built homes there as well; they are still building some new too.

OK, we're on our way to TV soon to check our house for the last time before Closing... Happy Campers we are...
