Neighborhoods

The Villages, which covers four Florida counties, is comprised of many (and many more coming) neighborhood villages.

Each neighbirhood village “typically” incudes

• one or more 9-hole executive golf courses
• a neighbhood postal box building for pick-up and drop-off of mail and packages
• a sports pool (shallow depth forexercize, lap swims)
• an adult pool (typically furnished with tables, chairs, chaise lounges)
• a family pool (allowing younger people etc)

In order to better understand all the neighborhoods and “villages” within The Villages (TV), you will hear people talk about general areas, so it helps to visualize those major areas that are divided by roads. Within The Villages there are several main arteries that carry the bulk of the vehicular and golf cart traffic. Actually, the golf carts are mostly traveling on their own network of paved paths that parallel these major roads. More about golf cart traffic is <HERE>.

There are two major roads that run North/South within the Villages. Those are Buena Vista Blvd and Morse Blvd. But, depending on where you are within TV, many cars traveling Southbound to the “newer” areas South of the Florida Turnpike use Rt 301 (on the Western edge) or Rt 441 (on the Eastern edge) instead. There are also several main roads that flow East/West within TV. In the Northern area, El Camino Real connects Buena Vista with Rt 441. Route 446 and Rt 446A define other main arteries. Further South, Rt 44 and the Florida Turnpike cut through The Villages. There is not a hard Southern border to The Villages, as development continues well below the turnpike.

Maps that divide The Villages into legal districts can be found on the governmental/organizational web site <HERE>. When you look at real estate listings or talk to people in The Villages you might here them refer to areas (sorry if I left something out) including the following:
