The Villages is the country’s largest age-restricted (55+) master-planned community, and its Sumter County core holds the newest neighborhoods south of County Road 466A. Daily life runs on golf carts, with three town squares — Spanish Springs, Lake Sumter Landing, and Brownwood Paddock Square — hosting free nightly entertainment.

The Villages is built around its town squares, golf, and golf-cart lifestyle — here’s what defines daily life:
A waterfront town square of shops and restaurants on Lake Sumter, with free live music every night.
The southernmost town square, with a Western theme, dining, and the Brownwood Hotel.
The original town square, just over the Lake County line, anchoring the community’s north end.
Dozens of executive and championship golf courses plus pools and recreation centers reachable by cart.
The Villages is part of Sumter County in the Orlando metro. Explore the map, then ask Lina to pull listings in any pocket you like.
The Villages trades on lifestyle, not location to a job center — demand comes from buyers nationwide moving for 55+ living, which keeps absorption steady year-round. Sumter-side villages south of CR-466A are the newest stock, ranging from low-maintenance courtyard villas to designer and premier homes near Brownwood.
Bond balances, CDD fees, and golf-cart access vary street to street and move pricing more than square footage alone — ask Lina for today’s median, active inventory, and the bond status on any village from the live MLS.

Yes — The Villages is an age-restricted community where at least one resident in each home must be 55 or older, and no one under 19 can live there permanently. It is the largest such community in the United States.
The range runs from courtyard and patio villas at the entry end to designer and premier homes near the town squares at the top. Because pricing shifts with bond balances and inventory weekly, ask Lina for today’s median and active listings in the village you’re considering.
The Villages spans three counties — Sumter, Lake, and Marion. The newest neighborhoods are in Sumter County south of County Road 466A, while the original squares like Spanish Springs sit on the Lake and Marion sides.
Most homes carry a bond (the financed cost of community infrastructure) plus an annual CDD maintenance assessment and amenity fee. The remaining bond balance varies by home and affects true cost, so confirm it before you buy — Lina can pull the figures.
Yes — The Villages is built around golf-cart paths and tunnels linking homes, town squares, golf, shopping, and medical offices. Many residents use a cart as a primary vehicle, and cart access is a real factor in home value.
