Most of the newly built homes seem to be located south of 466A. Don't know where we will end up buying but:

I seem to notice that most of the shopping (Dept., Grocery etc.) seems to be by the two current Village Squares.

IF this is correct do you know of any plans of these types of stores and restaurants opening down south?

Is this even a problem? Can't really gauge the mileage between (let's say) Sanibel and LSL and SS.

Thanks for all your help. More questions to come.

Sweetbay and Publix will be opening in the near future s/o 466A as well as resteraunts in the new Brownwood Square. There is also a shopping plaza scheduled w/o the Brownwood Square. There is also the Butterbeanery on the s/s of Rt 44A.

ugotme, there are no stupid questions. Pennecamp is a village on the south end of The Villages. It is north of 466A, and west of Buena Vista Blvd. It is one of the newer villages, and I believe Pennecamp is now all built out -- someone correct me if I am wrong on this.

If you want an all Villages map that shows where is each village is -- go to The Villages 4 Rent, Rentals in The Villages -- click on the All Villages Map tab. The only villages not on this map are the newest villages south of 466A -- Sanibel, Charlotte, Fernandina and Gilcrest. The owners of this web site should really add the villages south of 466A to this map. Hope this answer helps.

Bummer......it works o.k. on my machine.

A work-around: Click "Quote Post" on my post that has the 'Antrim Dells' link then look for the link info in the area where it allows you to do your typing. Strip out all the unrelated 'hide referer' stuff - just copy all the Villages Commercial Property parts of the link, paste & go in a new window, and it should give you the data.

The whole 'hide referer' debacle is discussed here, compliments of ajbrown:

Hope that helps!

Worked for me, thank Bill.. always helpful!!

Ugotme, as Schaumburger says, there are NO DUMB QUESTIONS!!! We were all there at one time, so ask away. That's what is best about this forum.

There is also shopping on 466A at Colony plaza. So no need to go all the way down to Lake Sumter Square or Spanish Springs to shop.

Up in the left hand corner of this page see.....the villages maps. May be of more help.

I'd heard from a couple of sources Macy's and JC Penny's will be built around there too?

A couple of majors declined because of lease terms. from a local commercial real estate agent.

We just built on Evesborough Path, Village of Sanibel. I love my house, I love my neighbors, I love the area. BUT.......we had been living in a villa we bought in Summerhill near Southern Trace Shopping Center. I sure do miss the convenience of living there!......Banks, shopping, doctors, restaurants, library, hardware store all within 5 minutes of the house.

Here I all I have is Colony Plaza.....I know the shopping will come, but it will be a LOOOONG time!

I realized there would be a trade off......I still do most of my major shopping up along 441/Rolling Acres Rd., Lady Lake.....I probably should have bought a place in Silver Lake!
