Simply put (I hope)....

The "historic" side is on the Lowes' side of Rte 441 with all the manufactured homes.

North Side is between Rte 441 & 466 including Spanish Spriings Town Sq

South Side is Rte 466 LSL side to Rte 466A

hope this helps....barb




This will give you an idea of the location....follow along Morse Blvd from SS and you will see the Rio Grande Pool. Gives you some direction.

Barb:

The area East of 441/27 isn't all manufactured homes - there are about 15% or so "site built homes"

The area North of 466 runs North to Hwy 42. 441/27 is generally the East boundary of this area.

Have owned a place on the "Historic Side" for 6 years now. On Golf View Lake so we have birds, geese, ducks etc to watch and feed on our back deck and the golf course on the other side and a view of Orange Blossom Restaurant. Can hear the music on weekends (love it). For a while we had to get insurance through Citizens (the state group) but now have it with Modern USA. Our place was built in the latter part of the 70s and had no problem getting a mortgage but don't know about now. Our only problem is we have to have flood insurance which now adds over $250

Orange Blossom Hills country club with their pool in my estimation is the prettiest club in the villages(Old Florida Style). Granted it could use some sprucing up inside. Orange Blossom golf course is one of my favorite championship courses in the Villages.

Does anyone have any input about this village? The villa is wonderful with a gc view, I can't wait to see it in person. Thanks, Kathie (still investigating homes and getting bored with this.)

Hey Chuck,

Cabanas? They got cabanas?

Wow.

What other secrets do you know?

So I did not dream this after all.

Happiness. Happiness.

Cabanas and hot tubs and caves, oh my!

Thanks.

Umbrella drinks and food service to your table around the pool - sorta like a country club atmosphere.

You are kidding! Really! I am so there. 8)

I hope I will be able to talk them into playing "Name That Tune" more than just on weekends.

You know, for as long as I can remember, even as a kid, I have not been able to tune out music...or even Muzak. I sing along in elevators. I grab my grocery cart and tango through the aisles of wine and roses in my local supermart when that homogenized sirens' song in the background gets the best of me.

Now, at last, I will be able to embrace this madness.

And on the days when nobody plays "Name That Tune," I will just sit around and read about Warren Buffett while I listen to Jimmy Buffett. (But wait. I do that now. Back here in Ohio.)

So anyway, thanks for the information.

"If you like pina coladas..."

...You know, somewhere in all these many posts, I had a list of demands. I had 3 things on it as I recall, or maybe two. But the one thing I remember for sure was that I want a little yellow guy who looks like he is making music. You know, some notes or something.

Well, so far, my demands have not been met, not a single one of them. Maybe I will just have to throw myself a little snit fit.

Nope. Not my style.

I think instead of throwing that snit fit over the little yellow guy I want, I will just punch up fellow boomer Buffett on the iPod. ..."Quietly making noise..."

By the time I figure this out, the entire Villages will be historic! :dontknow:

[KathieI]

Geeze, I asked a simple question, and now I'm confused!!!

But don't you just love these people, they are so wonderful and so knowledgeable even if they are directing it to an idiot,,,,, meeeee!!

[nONIE]

Kath, your not an idiot, it IS CONFUSING. Or else were both idiots. naw, thats not possible.

Anyway, I dont think the village your referring to is considered the Historic side or the prehistoric side because it is South of 441. But I do know what village your talking about and it is just lovely!

Nonie:

441 runs generally North/South

Rio Grande is West of 441 and is a nice place no matter where it is.

KathieI:

Some people consider the area East of 441 as the historic side
Other people consider the area North of 466 as the historic side and the area East of 441 as the pre-historic side.
There is no consensus on what to call where
