My parents retired in 1983 in
Timberpines, it's a 55+ community about an hour away in Hernando County. They finished build out about the year 2000. It's a real gated community with a wall perimeter. They have 3 golf courses and you can drive your golf cart from your home to the course.
Outside the gate is US Hwy 19, you're about an hour north of Tampa or St. Petersburg. They have every type business right outside the gate on Hwy 19. Resale homes in the low 100's are common. It's like a small scale version of The Villages with clubs, recreation, facilities, etc.
