![]() Amenities abound here in The Villages whether you live north or south of 466 and eventually that will be the situation south of 466a. I believe the single greatess factor is your neighborhood. My wife and I are very fortunate to have located in a neighborhood where people respect your privacy but are also very community oriented. They are an active group generating so much activity within the neighborhood year around. It is their friendship we cherish most |

Since nobody has mentioned this one, I guess my wife is right and I'm pretty weird, but...
The biggest thing that "sold" me on TV was "free golf for life" (on the executive courses). One thing that figured prominently into our decision of where to buy was proximity to executive golf courses. If you buy a map and color in all the executive Courses, you will see a big ring of 13 courses between Lake Sumter Landing and 466a. We found a place in that ring and we now have 13 different courses within 2 miles (and 4 courses within about 1/2 mile). If you plan on playing a lot of executive golf, that might be important to you, too... ![]() |

Where you decide to live is a personal choice and we can all list our reasons for selecting the location we did or are considering....Just be aware, homes built before 2002 were built to different hurricane standards and that is something you should pay atention to. This has not been a factor recently but its not a matter of "if"...only "when" it hits. When your house was built will also effect your homeowners insurance premiums and your options in selecting a homeowners insurance provider.

thanks for the replies. I wasn't suggesting either part was better--just wondered if there was a difference. I was there this week and went all over. I will say that I actually liked the north section very much....the mature landscaping was very appealing. However, the central location I was staying in was an obvious location advantage. I can see how living anywhere would be good and as you said you have access anywhere.

i'm down with that opinion! without the quirkiness of the historic side - our properties would look as cookie-cutter as most of the villages.

It's not Florida retirement without a pink flamingo in the front yard!

If a homeowner enjoys it, and it does not affect anyone else's property value...then why care? I get a kick out of some of them...every theme imaginable. The dwarfs, the elves, snow white, flamingos....on and on. I always wonder if the owner is really aware of what it looks like. It's funny and doesn't hurt anyone. For those purchasing a resale, if it's not their thing or bothers them...don't look in those areas.

You will find what your priorities are and decide based on those, because there are young and older people in every village and that includes South of 466a. Why people at this stage of life get hung up on age is beyond me. You are as young or as old as your heart. So, case closed on that issue. There are executive courses, rec centers, neighborhood pools EVERYWHERE, and you are just minutes away from any of those. Finally, enjoying life with DW, being with old friends who are already there, and making new friends is all that really matters. We hope to make friends from Orange Blossom to the closest village to Brownwood, and from Sanibel to Chatham. We'll be there permanently by September. . . SO, as they say in the Louisana bayou - " Laissez les bons temps rouler " or LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL!! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
