We picked a pre-owned cyv in Largo because it just "felt right" and also because it will be about the center of tv when Brownwood is completed! Close to Lake Sumter but not a really long golf cart ride from the other 2 squares either. I have noticed that if you are on the "younger side" or maybe just like to be very social, you might be happier buying in a newer area. Our neighborhood is 6 years old and tends to be more settled and not prone to weekly driveway parties, etc but that suits us. There's still plenty to keep us as busy as we want to be!

We based our decision on how easy the access is to Morse and Buena Vista blvd., as well as shopping since we just about always travel by golf cart. I think location is very important in your decision as some areas are quite far from stores and longer rides on roads and cart paths. You will make friends from all over the villages so don't base your decision on where some one you know may live. All styles/ sizes/ prices of homes are in each village.

The landscaping was definitely gorgeous. No matter where we went , it was totally immaculate. We saw the manpower at work, early every day, maintaining the highways and byways with the meticulous flower arrangements, etc. A very pretty place indeed. |

We currently live across from a Park and watch young families and their kids play and it is just steps away from 1 of the pools and rec centers in Baldwin Park (Orlando). Nice view but not a lot of neighbor interaction. We are not really golfers so a golf view did not mean much to us; especially at 200K lot premium vs the 24K premium we are paying. We are putting that difference into the house itself. So we chose a larger lot to be able to go with a 3 car garage rather than 2 + golf which is staggered between the houses behind us. The Premier lots are larger so you don't feel like you are on top of each other. We also chose the lanai/ cage to face West as we are putting in a pool and enjoy the brilliant orange in the sky at night at sunset. The MBR will face North and West. This is the same as our current house and it works for us. The cage will deflect quite a bit of the sun. Like I say different reasons for different folks. |

Sanibel
We chose Sanibel, because we decided to build. There didn't seem to be a lot of difference between new and preowned, so we decided to build what we wanted. We are very glad we did. The area is great, the people are super friendly. However, we have not been anywhere in the Villages where they have not been super friendly, so is you want new, build, if you want prowned look in any Village as they are all fantastic. The bottom line is enjoy your life no matter which Village you are in.
