About The Villages, FL
The Villages is one of the largest planned retirement communities in the United States, covering parts of Sumter, Lake, and Marion counties in central Florida. Developed almost entirely from the early 1990s onward and designed for residents aged 55 and older, the broader community is home to well over 130,000 people, according to the Wikipedia entry on The Villages, Florida, making it one of the largest master-planned communities in the country. The area is also consistently ranked among the fastest-growing metro areas in the United States, meaning new construction is ongoing even as older sections mature.
The community is organized around three main town squares. Spanish Springs is the original and most recognizable, featuring a Spanish colonial design and nightly outdoor entertainment that has been running since the 1990s. Lake Sumter Landing sits along the lake with restaurants and a large outdoor stage. Brownwood Paddock Square, built with a Texas ranch theme and opened in 2013, anchors the southern section as the community has expanded in that direction. Neighborhoods span a wide range, from the older villages near Spanish Springs in the north to the newest residential streets still under construction south of State Road 44.
Property types here are almost uniformly single-story ranch homes built on concrete slab foundations, with many homes featuring a screened lanai, a pool enclosure, or a golf cart garage that is not found in most other markets. Our crew also handles concrete projects in Gainesville, FL to the northwest and Spring Hill, FL to the southwest, so if you have property in either of those areas, one call handles all of it.
