Village of Amelia
Similarly styled homes with similar convenience
The Villages is full of more than 70,000 houses, spanning almost 60 square miles, but neighborhoods like the Village of Amelia are a draw for the central location they offer within the wider community, says Charmaine Adams, a Florida native and a local Realtor with Realty Executives in The Villages. Many of the homes across the separate neighborhoods in this swath of The Villages are similar, but spots like the Village of Amelia are even more convenient because they’re a tad farther north than sister sections like the Village of Bonita and thus closer to the area’s commercial amenities. “It does not differ significantly other than the fact it’s even closer to Lake Sumter Landing Square,” says Sheila Davis, who is also with Realty Executives in The Village and has more than a dozen years of industry experience.The modern homes here carry new traditional Craftsman and Mediterranean styling, with single-story floor plans that average roughly 1,500 square feet. Many of the houses in the Village of Amelia stand on manicured lots that fall between one-tenth and one-fifth of an acre — dotted with shrubbery and palm trees. Some properties face the rolling fairways and sweeping greens of the Mallory Hill or Havana golf courses. Price tags in this neighborhood are usually between $300,000, for an option 1,400 square feet or under, and $700,000, for a home around 2,000 square feet with golf course or lake views. At least one person in each of The Village’s households must be at least 55 years old and no full-time residents can be younger than 19.
Golf galore, and more
There are more than 50 golf courses in total across The Villages, and those in the Village of Amelia are particularly close to the Mallory Hill and Havana country clubs. Some homes on Amelia's north end face Mallory Hill, and some on the sound end face Havana. “That is one of the best places,” Adams says of Havana. Both Mallory Hill and Havana feature 27 holes, made up of three nine-hole courses apiece. The Village of Amelia also has its own pool, which lies adjacent to shuffleboard and bocce ball areas, all at the neighborhood’s entrance.Lively times at Lake Sumter Landing
One of the reasons the Village of Amelia’s location in relation to Lake Sumter Landing Market Square is a boon is because of the steady lineup of events there. Lake Sumter Landing Market Square, like The Village’s three other signature Town Squares, offers nightly entertainment almost every single day of the year. The only thing that cancels programming on occasion is inclement weather. Events include daily concerts, which start at 5 p.m. Adventurers in the area can also meet at Lake Sumter Landing Market Square on certain days for the Grand Masters Dragon Boat Club, a rowing club that uses nearby Lake Sumter itself as its playground.Trading cars for carts
Communities across The Villages, like the Village of Amelia, are littered with cart paths. Golf carts are a preferred form of transportation for many where possible, whether they’re using the paths or the designated lanes along the area’s main roads. People here can hop in their carts for a quick trip to one of the nearby golf courses, or to grab a bite to eat by the Lake Sumter Landing Market Square, which is only about 3 miles away. Those making trips farther away can take advantage of the Village of Amelia’s location within what locals call the “sixes,” which include Sumter County Road 466 to the north and Sumter County Road 466A to the south. Sumter County Road 466A helps to connect commuters with Interstate 75 for drives to places like Tampa, just over 80 miles south.Grabbing a meal by the course
Both the Mallory Hill and Havana country clubs come complete with their own restaurants. Davis notes that people go to the Havana restaurant often, a spot with daily specials ranging from lobster on Mondays to prime rib on Thursdays. The fried chicken at Mallory Hill’s restaurant is popular. People here can also make the short trip up to Lake Sumter Landing Market Square for food — the space is surrounded by places including Panera Bread, Johnny Rockets and Florida-based chain Cody's Original Roadhouse. There’s also a Winn-Dixie nearby for those looking to grab groceries and other essentials.
