What I am wondering is does it matter in any way...such as property taxes, restrictions of any sort, benefits... which county you live in, Marion, Lake, Sumter?
Thanks

You have to purchase a library card for Lake County if you live in Sumter. They are $40 a year the last time I checked for Sumter County residents. Well worth it. A Sumter County library card does allow you to borrow stuff from a lot of counties (with some restrictions) to the west and south of Sumter County like from libraries in Hillsborough (Tampa) and Pinellas (St. Pete) Counties.
Watch out for the noisy train in parts of Marion County in TV. It is not so bad in Sumter and as far as I can tell not much of an issue in Lake County.
You may want to keep in mind looking for something central to the Villages if you want to reach a lot of areas by golf cart too.
