THIS IS JUST MY Opinion. I am sure others will have differing, i understand that,,

North of 466 is much older crowd,,, lots of folks that came here long time ago,, some very unhappy bout all the construction in the south,, this area has become the redheaded step child of the villages,, ,,,, they have real problems at Spanish Spring Square with smokers and alcohol ,, there is a cop EVERY night! they have pumped LOTS $$$ into SS square trying to get the thing rolling again.. the church on the square spent lots of money to get folks to come back north.... they have upgraded the square last summer... whenever there is a any type special event, they really try to make sure SS gets it make folks come back, no bonds on most of the units

South of 466 ,,,, the thing that is said ,, north of 466 folks are trying to stay alive,, south of 466 they are living.... Most of the current activity is in this area,, Most sinkholes are in this area or at least is seems that way,,, if you buy used in this area it is hit an miss as to the neighborhood,, most folks have established friends ,, even tho this i Americas friendliest hometown,, it can be difficult for some to break into some social circles in the established areas. will be some bonds,, most will be paid down somewhat

South of 466a,, this all new within the last 4-5 years,, many are younger and looking for a real party time, are still developing social circles and friends.me and my bride love to roam the area at nite we get pulled over to come to the party many times, we have made some great friends this way. there are many rentals of folks who are planning on retiring here. or have latched on to an investment and will turn them for a tidy profit in the future. Brownwood is a real cross cut of the area, there have been issues with outsiders bring in snakes, and other things that disrupt the atmosphere. There is a police station on the square for a reason, (no there are not any donut shop around). The Morris family will not let the square fail! This is the future , they have just purchased a HUGE area for future development that will DOUBLE the size of the local town, (long term residents of the area are NOT happy bout this!), bonds in this area are out the roof,, most of these buyers have the $$ so they set the prices higher here.
To be honest every area has it plus and minus. all in all it is a great place, no it is not a cult, if you talk bad about be prepared to defend yourself or just wilt away. folks will defend there area, and that is there right, just as i can give you one persons perception You know what they say a bout getting a contest with skunk!
Enjoy.. hope this helps
