The Villages

Among Florida’s planned communities, The Villages stands out for its extensive network of golf-cart paths and recreation-centred neighbourhoods. This large, age-restricted community extends across parts of Sumter, Lake and Marion counties in central Florida, where flat terrain is marked by lakes and wetlands. Lake Sumter borders Lake Sumter Landing, one of the community’s established town-square districts; Spanish Springs and Brownwood Paddock Square are others. The community began in 1978 as Orange Blossom Gardens, developed by Harold Schwartz. Golf carts are a routine form of local transport, while the squares host music and social events.
