Now what does one get? They (new owners South of CR-44) get the opportunity to get in their Automobile to drive north of CR-44 to enjoy what The Villages was always about since its inception back in the 1980s on both sides of 192.
.
Would a new resident please let me know just how many Publix are open South of CR-44?
.
We had 6 Publix supermarkets as well as a few Winn Dixies North of CR-44.

Sawgrass Grove is a town square south of 44. Very popular as well, gets quite busy on most nights.

Most people south of 44 are a short golf cart ride from Brownwood. 5-10 mins for most in the villages of Richmond, St John's and DeLuna. We also have Edna's on the green south of 44 which is a venue with no equivalent north of 44.

There's one Publix south of 44 (Magnolia Plaza), but also the Grand Traverse plaza on 44 is a very short golf cart trip or car ride for most of those south of 44. I certainly don't feel like there's a Publix shortage for the current size of the population in the area. So basically 2 Publix locations serving a much smaller area than the rest of TV combined.

Sawgrass is not a town square. It is an area with a few restaurants and outdoor seating area. They will be building a fourth square in Eastwood over the next year or so.

A town square (or square, plaza, public square, city square, urban square, or piazza) is an open public space,[1] commonly found in the heart of a traditional town but not necessarily a true geometric square, used for community gatherings. Related concepts are the civic center, the market square and the village green.

Call it whatever you want. It's being used as a town square.

Online (so it must be true):

KEY POINTS
Home prices in March rose for the third consecutive month, on a seasonally adjusted basis.
New listings are 30% lower than pre-pandemic norms for this time of year.
Nearly half of homes on the market are selling within two weeks.

It paints a very different picture than what The Villages are reporting.

Just checked it out (the Utube) Hard to believe the villages would polish up any stats just to give a more shiny glow to anything ! ?

It's the developer's ballgame and they said from the beginning that it's not a square.
