You consider that a plus??? SMH

Yuck! Now I know which pool to stay far away from.

The cart tunnels have more clearance in the South, because the people are taller...

There are SO many nice things about each area its overwhelming trying to figure out which neighborhood to buy a home.

Thanks everyone for your input for those of us still doing our research.

If you’re already living here, why are you overwhelmed trying to figure where to buy a home. Are your current experiences of village life causing issues?

I like the styles, walk in showers, storage space, and pantries in the newer homes south. But I dislike the narrow roads and the houses so close to the road making it seem claustrophobic. I like the walking paths and style of the rec center pools. But not thrilled with the extra taxes and utility rates that you get from Wildwood and Leesburg either. Established trees and lower bonds north, younger folks south. Neither area is perfect but they're both far better than many other places to live.

Thanks for you response!

Not sure exactly what you are asking me. Nothing is "causing issues" so help me understand your response.

Like I said, so many of TV neighborhoods have so much to offer and overwhelmed by the amount of things and amenities offered.

You've obviously never taken a trip down here.

"Every bit" was a slight exaggeration but I didn't see much left standing in the new areas near Middleton and Eastport on the three trips I made down there this year.

To be fair, I don't recall if that was wooded area two years ago or mostly open field. There might not have been much to leave standing anyway.

It doesn’t matter if you live in Bridgeport, Orange Blossom, Fenny or Well Point. All Village golf courses, country clubs and amenities are open to all residents.
Compare it to other Florida communities….we have an outstanding quality of life here for very reasonable amenity fees.

It was 90% pastureland, sod farming before.

Some say. Not me.

I couldn't make up my mine which direction to go so I stayed in the middle.

Just wondering........is the Lake Sumter Landing area considered the "north"?
