I would vote for a home somewhere by Lake Sumter Landing such as Mallory Hill or Virginia Trace. Great established area and close to most things.

Remember that MOST of the recent spate of break-ins and burglaries have taken place South of 466A or on the edges of The Villages. Buy a pre-owned home in the interior, water view or golf front, lanai east facing, negotiate price, low bond, golf cart garage, and you will be happy.

Use BOTH a Villages agent and MLS agent as neither can show each others homes.

I resemble that comment.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but still trying to get my bearings of things around here while searching the real estate sites.

Are the towns of Lady Lake and Leesburg part of The Villages or are they separate towns?

Thanks for any help.

If you have unlimited resources, buy anywhere in Sumter County

The Villages does incorporate a little bit of Lady Lake in the Rio Grande area. The Villages is not any part of Leesburg. Other little towns nearby are Fruitland Park, Wildwood, and Oxford and The Villages does go into them a little.

Personally, I would suggest staying toward the interior parts of The Villages.

I'm perfectly happy to be in Hemingway. I think it was the newest village when I bought in 2009 and it still feels new. Convenient to 301 and the turnpike and to 441.

In addition to what buggyone shared...the neighborhoods of the historic side of the villages are pretty much all in the town of Lady Lake; as are the neighborhoods of Mira Mesa, La Reynalda, Valle Verde and La Zamora [inside the El Cortez gate]; and there are lovely homes in each of those areas. Best of all - they are close to the main post office that serves the villages and there is a brick/mortat sub-station a golf cart ride away from the homes there!

And the best part is there are no bonds attached to the homes in Lake County, ie Lady Lake. The town of Lady Lake provides the police protection for that section including the Spanish Springs town square area.

Please take your time and shop to see where you want to be near for shops, squares, restaurants etc.As previously posted, we were quite happy in the Ashland, Bonnybrook, Lynnhaven area however there is no bad place to buy in The Villages. It is all 'pride of home ownership' here. Patience and enjoy and best of luck to you.
