Lake Sumter Landing boosts this swath of The Villages
With its bountiful selection of golf courses, restaurants and more The Villages has more than a fair share of luxuries to attract residents. And, though they’re similar, the separate neighborhoods within this sizable 55-and-over development aren’t all made the same. The Village of Caroline is one enclave that’s considered highly desirable in particular, for its proximity to one of The Village’s hotbeds for retail and entertainment. “Caroline is as close as you can get to Lake Sumter Landing,” says Anthony Filone, a local Realtor with RE/MAX Premier Realty who sold homes in The Villages for 10 years.

Lots here are often between one-tenth and one-fifth of an acre, space for grassy green lawns dotted with manicured trees and shrubbery. Homes under 1,500 square feet sell for prices just under $300,000 and up to $360,000. Larger houses go for $440,000 to $680,000.

Make sure to pack the clubs
Though Lake Sumter Landing is loaded with places to eat and shop, that’s certainly not the only way to enjoy The Villages. This community is known for its golf courses, too — there are more than 50 of them. The Village of Caroline is particularly close to the Mallory Hill course, which features 27 holes across three nine-hole circuits. The Bacall and Bogart courses are just a bit farther, and both offer nine-hole layouts of their own. Residents can take a break from golf to cool off in the community pool at the Coconut Cove Recreation center just outside the Village of Caroline or to spark up a game of tennis or bocce ball on the adjacent courts. Local Realtor Rick McKean of Realty Executives in The Villages notes that Coconut Cove also has billiards tables inside and rooms with space for card games and group meetings. “All the wonderful things people like to do here,” he says.
