The only real pain is the drive across the Buckman Bridge....beautiful view, but really crazy traffic with stupid drivers. |

All the new construction is going on below the Turnpike, they bought thousands of acres from Leesburg and Wildwood. They've only started a year ago and already have 2500 homes sold. The problem, there are no restaurants or stores in that area. You'll have to drive five miles to the nearest Publix, stuff will be built, but it will take a couple of years. They have two golf cart bridges currently under construction so you can cross the Turnpike and CR44, but currently you cannot drive your golf cart from those areas to where live and the golf courses are located. Where I live, it's 15 miles from the new areas. We have all kinds of stores in this area. Because of this, a lot of people are buying the resales, which is great for me. My courtyard villa that I bought new in 2011 for $158K and now worth $250K. You'll have to decide, do you want new and have to drive a long way to restaurants and stuff or to buy a resale. Resales usually have a lot of improvements. I have six championship golf courses I can reach in my golf cart within 15 minutes. I go to a gym 3 days a week, it's beautiful, big and nice, but is 10 miles from the new homes. Here's my gym, it's six years old, there is no gym under construction in the new area. Also new homes and resales are much higher priced in The Villages. Look at homes in zip code 32162 The Villages and then look at homes in Summerfield 15 miles north of The Villages, which has two different retirement communities. Hope this helps, my gym is called MVP and it's free with my health care. Also, we have our own VA Medical Facility, I had my annual free eye exam today at the VA, if you're a veteran its' free. MVP Gym Our VA Clinic, it handles over 16,000 patients. The Villages has 19,000 veterans living here. |
