The Villages - Spanish Springs / Historic Side

What to Independently Verify

The Villages is a single, continuous, non-gated master-planned 55+ development spanning Sumter, Marion and Lake counties; this record represents one of its broad, named geographic/town-center sections rather than a bounded subdivision. Per thevillages.com and districtgov.org (verified 2026-09-20): every homeowner pays a mandatory monthly amenity/lifestyle fee (~$204/month for 2026 buyers) that includes free walking golf on ~45 executive (9-hole) courses plus no-fee 'country club' membership status at the ~14 named 27-hole championship facilities; green fees (~$20-40/round) still apply at those championship courses even for residents, at resident-preferred rates below public/guest pricing. This access structure applies development-wide, regardless of which named section a resident lives in -- proximity mainly affects convenience/drive time to a specific course, not eligibility. Precise boundary/HOA-fee figures for this specific section were not found this session -- the amenity fee is development-wide, but per-section CDD/bond assessments can vary by neighborhood and were not itemized here.
