Sumter Landing or Spanish Springs
My wife and I are renting for the month of May with the intent to purchase a home during our stay. We will be in the Village of Largo.
We are wondering what the general feelings are about the differences between the 2 town centers. Is there a difference being near one vs. the other? It seems like many of the new builds are quite removed from either, at least via golf cart. Thanks for any insights. |

What is far away? I am in Hadley. By car maybe ten minutes depending on Traffic, By Golf cart...fifteen? (To LSL) Odell Center is out the back door. Colony is five minutes.
Spanish Springs is a little older than Lake Sumter Landing but their age doesn't show. Like most of The Villagers. |

Distance is a no biggie unless you're right next to one and 15-20 minutes by golf cart from the other. SS is more the traditional old world town center and the church is a definite plus. I kinda like LSL better because of the gorgeous lake view, especially at sunset. Bring your binocs and try to spot Sam in her hot tub -- suits optional.
I absolutely adore the stroll along the boardwalk in LSL. In May, the sunsets, temp, and humidity should be perfect for a postprandial promenade.

Oh Muncle....how strong are those binocs????? Hey, the economy is bad and chlorine in the pools and spas kills bathing suits. I use them when I have company, though. People looking thru binocs across the water will just think they see a manatee!! LOL

I like both squares. Each have their unique qualities. However, I prefer LSL because it's close and easily accessible to me. That says it all...the proximity, at least IMHO.

I prefer Spanish Springs. Better parking, better restaurants and a longer happy hour.

They are both great! We spend more time at LSL just because it's closer. I also love the view. I do wonder, however, why the happy hour is shorter than SS.

Thanks for the responses. I guess I was wondering if the average age of residents at Spanish Springs was a little older since it has been in existance longer. Since Sumter Landing has most of the newer growth are people there newer and younger?
