A community in the middle of the action

Located in Central Florida's premier 55-plus master-planned community, the Village of Fernandina is surrounded by golf courses and enjoys easy access to three popular recreational centers, each offering a wealth of activities. Plus, Brownwood Paddock, one of the community’s bustling town squares, is only about 4 miles away. “It’s like Disneyland for adults,” says Michael Vanek, a real estate agent with Florida Homes Realty & Mortgage who sells throughout Florida. "You'll have people playing pickleball at 6:00 a.m. and then dancing in the squares at night."

Recreational options and clubs close by

For an annual activities fee, residents can visit any recreation center, golf course, pool, and country club in The Villages, but residents in Fernandina have many of those amenities in their backyards. Bradenton Pool & Recreation Center is in the neighborhood and offers pickleball, tennis, bocce and a family pool. It’s also a hub for activities from Mahjong to ballroom dance. The Bonifay Country Club is another draw to the neighborhood, for the 27-hole golf course and the laid-back dining room that serves Caribbean-inspired dishes for lunch and dinner, plus an array of specialty cocktails.

A mix of two and three bedroom homes

Fernandina's homes are a mix of two- and three-bedroom Designer-style builds from 2012. They sit close on narrow lots that offer just enough space for petite front yards and patios in the back. Two-car garages are standard, with additional space for golf carts. Prices range from the high $200,000s to the high $500,000s, with more expensive homes boasting recent renovations. Front yards are landscaped, sporting small palm trees, shrubs and flowers. While there are no sidewalks along the streets, there is plenty of space for residents to ride bikes, jog and walk their dogs.

Residents get around via golf cart, Florida's Turnpike

Because so many people live in The Villages – there are about 150,000 total residents there and counting – traffic can be challenging between neighborhoods, so many residents opt to travel by golf cart. To get outside The Villages, they hop in the car and head to State Route 44 or Florida’s Turnpike, located just outside the neighborhood. These roads connect to Orlando, about 55 miles away.
