Part 3: Which is the Best Village in The Villages, Florida?

By
Real Estate Agent with TOUCHSTONE REAL ESTATE

Location and Convenience, I have already discussed lifestyle so like in Part 2 when I shared the story of a clay court tennis player you want to be close to what is important to you.  The Villages is big, how big you ask?  By golf cart from the north to the south about 28 miles and roughly 2 hours, by car 17 miles 34 minutes so you want to pick an area close to your lifestyle choices including shopping, dining and entertainment.

I will start with where I live and why, again each person needs to decide where and there is no right or wrong decisions if they base the choice on lifestyle and other things important to them.  Where I live, I am 5 minutes from Target, 2 grocery store, 20 some restaurants, drug stores, plenty of retail and Spanish Springs Square.  10 minutes gets me to all my medical offices and more stores and dining and Lake Sumter Landing Square.  All of this by golf cart!

Interested in moving to The Villages?  Let me mail you a set of detailed maps so you can start looking at where maybe is best for you!

Lifestyle choices would definitely be a big driver in selecting the right place to live. What's the biggest parcel of land in the villages?

Kat Palmiotti you mean lot size?  I live on a cul-de-sac and mine is 14,000 sf, most homes are 5,000 to 6,000 sf lots.  There is one section of The Villages with lots as big as an acre most between a half to full acre.  Most homes in that section are over a million.

Part III just as enjoyable as the first two. 10 minutes away from amenities is so important. Families on the move will appreciate your local real estate reports. Bill

Living the golf cart lifestyle used to be a dream of mine, but I am not so sure about that anymore, haha.  We shall see as I get older though.
