it wasn't approved by Sumter county actually it was put up for a vote at the expense of the developer and it failed then they went to Marion county only a few hundred feet away and got it approved. they are going to spend about 10 million on the project including the 2 million they spent in January for 80 acres off of 301 between 42 and 466.

Chip away here, chip away there and soon the original model is well no longer original

301 seem like a logical location for new development for non villagers business owners and their employees there is a lot of property and a lot of room to add new businesses on the outskirts of the villages not to mention Buffalo Ridge in the Villages that is largely undeveloped. as far as traffic 301 is not bogged down at all and can handle thousands of new cars a day.

I wonder how many teens driving golf carts and hanging out in the squares this will bring?

It will just mean more kids driving golf carts and acting out in the ways teens do. Some of the adults in here do not act any better. It is already a problem in here with the golf carts since so many of them are high speed.

I can not believe the way alot of people act on their carts,, young and old alike.
Oxford Oaks has not cart access to The Villages.

I did not know that Parkwood and Bison Valley were completely built out. If not, then I really wonder what all this additional housing is all about if the existing developments are not completed.

Just guessing, but I think the OP probably was meaning that on one had to be over 55, not that they couldn't be.

Bison Valley sold out long time ago,, Parkwood has nothing to do with The Villages other than they are a so called sub-division that allows families.
Different Developer and builders.

Read the other post and see that it is for upcoming expansions...

Since it is west of 301, doubt if it will be golf cart accessible to the squares.
