The older neighborhoods will put you closer to golf cart accessible services. Newer neighborhoods south of the turnpike will require about 10 more years.

Just about anything north of 44.

The new villages are south of Rt. 44 and are not yet golf car accessible.

And, I appreciate the "greenery" and wildlife (animals). Having spent most of my life in a rural, country setting, I would feel uncomfortable with a house in a strawberry field. |

Oh, and a lot of it is built on swamp land or close to 345 KV towers. I suggest you look for resales. |

Agree with all remarks, BUT, TV agents are known for pushing new builds and are desperately trying to sell south of 44. Don't let them steer you away from what YOU are looking.

In most of the world, a 20 year old home (resale) would not be considered old, and may have more character than brand new. I often hear from people in the "new" construction areas, that they wished they hadn't bought there. Too far to reach the nicer, more charming squares in the north part, and all the shopping, and 441/27 and 466. Plus issues with lovebugs and mosquitos, blasting for construction, prison nearby, and other things are commented on as detractions. I would guess you are older, since you were here before and moved and are coming back. The more recent the development area, the younger the overall population tends to skew. Have also heard concerns about clique-ishness and status with the newer home areas. Only hearsay, but i've heard it more than once. Plus you pay a substantial bond with new construction ($20 - $30 thousand dollars) which you will never get back. Someone mentioned the areas around Sumter Landing - they are nice and established, with full plantings and growth, plus access to everything. We are north of there and half way between Sumter Landing and Spanish Springs. Close to both highways and shopping. For us, great place to be.

We love our area on tv. Our neighbors are nice and watch out house when we are not home. We are located between SS and LS. Browns wood is a long but peaceful ride by golf cart. Do your research before you buy. Good luck

Also, if you like to cook, a lot of areas do not have gas. That was important to my wife and I.

Most of the villages down south as you know have no golf cart path to the north. We live in Dunedin and our selling our home and moving to Collier. Both very nice neighborhoods.
Want to buy a house. 😉 |
