Yes, it is a north south road and it does curve in many directions. In The Villages area it runs from the south east to the north west so it seems appropriate to say that the historic district lies northeast of that road.
There is a section of 441 in Leesburg that runs from northeast to south west. Would you describe something lying on to the northwest of that road as being east of it?
In the Boston area we have two major highways that are circular. You sometimes have to get onto 128 north in order to go south. In fact a section of 128 South is also designated as US 95 north. Believe me, if I am on 128 north (a north south road) in Quincy, Boston is to the north of me. The Washington Beltway is another example.
In this discussion, the road is a reference point. The ultimate direction that the road will take you is irrelevant.
