This publication from The Villages lists the Parks, Trails & Pathways in The Villages & I count 27 in the north & 18 in the south. I used the commonly used Rt 44 as the dividing line, if I used the Florida Turnpike the numbers would be different. https://www.districtgov.org/PdfUploa...Parks_1023.pdf |

My wife and I rented for 20+ years, in many areas of TV.
Each had its pluses and minuses. Our personal preference, after a while, was between 466 and 466A The thing I would recommend, is avoid living next to main roads, and any street with a through route, or golf cart shortcut. Village drivers do not take prisoners. |

Bigger question is your lifestyle, do you need to shop brick and mortar weekly, in need of restaurants daily? Do you love large trees and Spanish moss. Then the established SS area might work for you. Or do you shop and eat out occasionally can go north to SS or south to Brownwood in same amount of time. Enjoy less large trees mid range of ages. Then LSL could be your area. Finally are you the age who loves to save time by using grocery services, and Amazon, can zip up to Brownwood or down to the new areas in same amount of time. Since you are a Veteran you are close to turnpike and 1-75 to VA hospitals in Either Gainesville or Orlando. VA clinic in Villages is 34 minutes from Brownwood. This area eventually will have more shops, restaurants, as soon as clientele can support them. We are on our 4th house, south of 44, starting in LSL area when it was so new GPS only showed the lake. We found that moving into newer areas with younger residents, with less shopping has much less traffic, and yet in 3 miles can head north great restaurants, the parks, and Costco or commissary. So spend time researching areas, find what fits you. By the way the VA system is very good here, TV has the most amount of Veterans living in one area outside of any base.

soon retired
I moved to the Villages 2 yrs.ago. I wanted to be near an established area and close to Lake Sumter. Village of Virginia Trace has been perfect. Centrally located for now, everyone has dogs and great way to meet people. The neighborhood is established and great plave to vacation or just relax. Good luck! Happy to answer any questions. My dog also love it here. For a little more privacy and great back yards look for a hme with a culedsac.

Ignore simplesimon! Do a life style stay in The villages you can bring dog too. It’s 4 to 7 days and you will get an idea of the difference areas. North had more landscaping with trees and bushes. I moved here when 67 , North side of TV and had No Bond on my home. Check out all town squares entertainment nightly. South had Edna’s and Sawgrass with entertainment. Many clubs and single groups on Facebook here to join .Download The Village app

We came down 4 yrs in a row and stayed in different areas. I only came cause my husband wanted to. Was never interested in buying. But then we rented in the Fenney area and I never wanted to leave. We now own a home here. But others love it further North. Best to try all areas out for yourself.

Hammock at Fenney is a newer development South of 44 and very dog friendly. We have a Courtyard Villa that we will be selling, it's not on the market yet but will be soon. One of few models that have enclosed backyard. The neighbors here are awesome and in our age group. If you're interested please give me a call when you are in town to see the house before it goes up for sale. You can reach me at ilovehines5@gmail.com.
