Default Gilchrist Confusion

I have a question/concern. I am closing on a house in Gilchrist tomorrow. I tried to google the address because I'm a little unsure of exact directions. When I put in the address it comes up as Wildwood rather than TV. I've heard that's not the best of areas. Do I have a problem or is google just wrong. All of my papers say I'm buying in TV but now I'm concerned.

That's just google's way of doing things...they pick up the closest town. In the Lake County portion of The Villages, they'll list the location as Lady Lake.

Don't worry, your home is definitely in TV. Hope all goes well tomorrow.

Not to worry, if you are buying in Gilchrist you are in TV. For some reason google maps is listing it as Wildwood.

Welcome to the neighborhood.

It takes a while for them to get the new addresses into the database. You're in The Villages, and in a year or so all the map services and GPS systems will say so. Welcome go The Villages!

Diane M,

Yes, yes, yes! Gilchrist is one of the newer Villages in The Villages. Don't lose a minute's sleep over this. Instead, be excited. Be very excited. For tomorrow, you will be a Villager. Congratulations and welcome!

Parts of Sumter County are Lady Lake as well.

A present neighbor in Orlando. I took her comment with a grain of salt but made me curious.

Absolutely and I love my new house. The area looked great to me but I guess I'm just a bit nervous.
