The costs to live here is much higher than the numbers they give you. Cable here is at least 150- a month lawn 80/100 not including fertilizing, shrub trimming 600- a year food 20-40% higher than most places water 20% higher since the villages paid cash for the water company HVAC averages 125 a month, amenity fees which are 166 a month now for new residents get raised twice a year with taxes, the bond on your house is 20% higher the bond interest rate on your house is at 8% per year. You have to pay 80 a year to get the daily sun newspaper, it’s 8- a month to get access online to book a tee time. To join a club or use a community center for activities fees are charged. The town squares have music and even though they don’t charge to listen it is paid for by the residents through maintenance fees. Nothing is free here because you pay eventually for it one way or another. The sales people here don’t provide potential buyers worth these costs. Their job is to sell you a house and will say anything to get you to sign on the dotted line. Look at other places like Top of the World or even closer to Orlando where you can have access to better shopping and variety. Look all over the place.

Still, if you can afford it and you like what it has to offer - it’s the best!

Hail LOL, IMO now if you came from Midwest like Oklahoma, New, Mexico, Texas, or Kansas where Big hail can kill you. Pea or nickel size hail around here don’t damage roofs. Rare for hail big enough to do damage, damage usually comes from wind damage or small tornado.

My house is 19 years old and not one dent in exhaust vents from hail.

I find it funny that developers and districts owned property can have metal roofs but residents can’t.

You must live in Sumter County or on historical side, now where else pay that low taxes. O wait didn’t Sumter County just raise taxes and all wimps complaining? And STILL pay lowest taxes on average.

Boy, did this thread ever go off track ! So somebody got the wrong address, big deal.....Get over it.....

If it was on the front of the car it is a Cub fan plate. The "W" was popular during the World Series. We have a "W" flag we put out whenever the Cubs win a game. Totally legit plate

Nowadays, you very veeeeeery rarely see that.
