Maybe the ones that are complaining are the ones that live within yards of turnpike. Or where quarry right across the pasture. Naturally if they don’t live close it not going to bother them.

Where did you come up with that one. During Irma the only places that got flooded were up north, no problems at all south of 44, not even a power loss for a minute. When we bought our home south of 44 we checked to see if it was in a flood zone and it is not. The flood control ponds down here do there job very well.

We bought a Patio Villa in Chitty Chatty last September after much research & deliberation. We studied The Villages maps & looked for a combination of privacy, beauty & less of the “packed in” feeling. We absolutely love the Chitty Chatty/ Bradford area & the development going on South of 44. We’re connected to “The Mainland “ by the Chitty Chatty bridge, 4 minutes to a beautiful Publix, Walgreens, Marathon Gas, and best of all Paisano’s Italian restaurant. A beautiful 20 minute cart ride to Brownwood (Paddock Square) via Morse & Hillsboro & now the newly opened Brownwood Bridge. Two beautiful Rec. centers minutes away (Rohan & Aviary) a beautiful new Shopping center coming soon (Magnolia Center) and much much more in the coming years. Couldn’t be happier!😎

Strongly suggest renting for a month or more and travel around and see what appeals to you.
Buying a house near the prison can be convenient if you have friends and family there. |

During our research we checked extensively on flood risk & found that the geological flood maps are old & out dated. The Villages developers have significantly changed the topography in the developing areas & their flood control measures are extraordinary. Yup, we’re surrounded by swap preserves, but we’re well above the flood plain. State Farm Insurance even confirmed this prior to insuring our Villa.

I think every area has advantages and disadvantages. We were going to build when we moved here 10 years ago. I kept looking at a preowned on line. Before we made an offer, I parked at the mailboxes and walked the neighborhood. I met so many friendly and helpful people on those walks. It just felt right. The home we did buy had many upgrades from previous owners. We still love our home and neighborhood, so glad we didn’t build. My advice is get a feel for the neighborhood. Good luck in your search.

You should come for the “lifestyle experience”. You can stay up to 7 days fir minimal cost. People love being between Brownwood & Lake Sumter Landing.
I highly recommend that you rent for a yesr to get sure it’s where you want to live. I rented my 1st place and hated every second. My new place in Duval is the best!! Good luck. |

Stay away from sewage treatment plants and you don’t want to be ear shot to pickle ball courts.
