Another Proposed 3,500 Homes Coming to The Villages, Florida

By
Real Estate Agent with Dick Betts National Speaker SL3537832

A special magistrate recommended approval for a site plan for a 968-acre property on south end of The Villages.  Per published reports 3,500 new homes will be built on the newest area of The Villages.  Further in the report the expansion of The Villages will be south to the city limits of Center Hill.  There is a whole lot of real estate south of the approved area with room for many more homes.  Look at the map I have attached, the north border on SR 42 is home of First Responders and Mulberry Grove Rec Center.  You can see the red dot which was just approved and the small town of Center Hill to the south.

I went to maps on my computer and asked for directions from Mulberry Grove Rec Center to Center Hill, three options I-75 46 minutes, 35 miles, Turnpike 45 minutes, 33 miles or US 301 52 minutes, 30 miles.  People ask me about The Villages moving south and how it effects the rest of The Villages.  In my opinion it doesn’t.  The center of The Villages was Spanish Springs, then Lake Sumter, then Brownwood, some would say Sawgrass Grove maybe Eastport is next?  I just checked from our house to Ocala 42 minutes, 22 miles.  Am I concerned about growth or other factors in Ocala effecting my lifestyle? No!

FYI from Center Hill to Orlando 53 minutes, 45 miles, yep getting closer!

Good morning Dick. Are there any plans for golf carts with bigger gas tanks for extended travel. Soon you will need golf cart hotels for overnight travel from one end to the other, ha, ha. Or maybe a branch office? Growth in a controlled fashion can be good for The Villages. Enjoy your day.
