Higher Taxes
All homes south of 44 are in Wildwood. We pay taxes to Sumter and Wildwood. Not sure if the $2200 figure is just taxes. May include the higher bond and district fee. In addition a new home will have more taxes than a similar priced older home. County appraisals don’t fully keep up with home values until the older home is sold for a price. But comparables with like homes in the older neighborhood will keep the tax value lower. In a new neighborhood all homes are similarly priced so the taxes are closer to purchase price.

Pick your location carefully. Most people don’t realize that The Villages is already several miles longer from north to south than the City of Chicago.
I can’t imagine using a golf cart to get from some of the new villages in the “south” to get to, say, The Sharon, the Morse medical building, etc. I’d suggest staying in “the middle”, but the middle of TV keeps moving further south on almost a weekly basis.

Down south
The phase “your results may vary” apply here. My wife and I wanted to be in Fenney because we felt there were fewer kissing lanais. We found our Begonia on a cul de sac with a backyard that has forty feet to the wall that surrounds the villas behind us. No watching the neighbor reading the paper. Couldn’t be happier. To each their own.
