What I've heard from salespeople is it will all be golf cart accessible. The family community of Middleton will have their own ammennities and not have access to ours. I don't think they have to pay a bond. At first I heard there would only be 250 houses but later I heard many more perhaps it was 3000. I think they will have some apartments.

The upcoming Middleton neighborhood will use the same form of local government that has been successful throughout The Villages.

The Wildwood City Commission on Monday approved by a 4-0 vote the creation of the Middleton Community Development District A.

The neighborhood will be built next to The Villages south of the existing County Road 470 as a separate community with its own unique amenities.

The non-age-restricted neighborhood is designed to draw and retain the workforce that supports retirees in The Villages, with proximity to a new charter school campus.

Middleton CDD A will include about 2,480 acres and up to 8,280 homes, with a mix of housing types, designs and models.

The new school, a downtown area and all recreation amenities will all be accessible by walking, biking or golf cart via a network of pathways, trails and tunnels.

The first two residential units of family housing at Middleton will consist of 569 homes on about 133 acres south of Central Parkway and west of Stampeder Trail, documents show.

Unit 1 will also be home to a recreation area featuring a postal station, resort-style pool, pickleball and tennis courts, corn toss, a children’s playground, a dog park and pedestrian pathway surrounding a lake.

Phase 1 of downtown Middleton will bring six retail/office buildings with about 146,000 square feet of available commercial space.

Diverse housing options planned at Middleton will include everything from single-family homes to multi-family apartment rentals.

There are 14 residential CDDs in The Villages, in addition to three commercial districts and two utilities dependent districts.

Hmmm….a commission from Wildwood? They think they have a say in Lake County? They usurp Leesburg? Something isn’t right? Either Leesburg is giving up their rights to the taxes and authority, Wildwood is full of hot air, or the Daily Sun needs a new reporter?

Or choice D: Middleton is in Sumter County in an area incorporated by the city of Wildwood.

It's West of the Turnpike. Like the post directly above says, it's Sumter County and Wildwood.

It’s of course locatedLake County, perhaps some tangent may eventually hit Sumter? I was down there yesterday. Its entirety currently maps out South of 470. Bad reporting I guess?

Were you lost?????? Seems like it.

According to google maps, the county line is at SE 88th Terr, well east of ALL of Middleton, almost to the turnpike/470 interchange.

Nope, Sumter changes to Lake on Meggison before you even hit Central Parkway.

Please look at google maps. BTW, 470 near Middleton has nothing to do with Meggison.

Here's a visual aid. Pretty sure that Middleton is West of the red Lake County line.

These will be year round residents for the most part. However, it will be good for any commercial/retail business built south of 44.

I am so glad we located in CDD 4 way up north in Marion County.

Thinking of moving it’s not a retirement village any longer. With family units coming and most of the rentals are Air B&Bs with no oversight.Three day parties and kids everywhere.

Middleton is in Wildwood, in Sumter County

The kids in the under 55 community will be going to the new high school, I assume built by The Villages. Does that increase our real estate taxes? Trying to get an education. Thanks in advance
