We live in Homosassa, 40 miles west and have friends in Wildwood, a few miles away, and often drive to WM in the villages and other areas of villages for shopping or dinner. It is very large and many areas involved, so prices vary too. Many use golf carts and they have separate little streets beside the roads just for the golf carts and parking at various stores. Even saw some new carts $15-20,000 so if money is an issue, be careful. There are many other places that are not as large and restrictive and cost less to live in, But many people love it, depends what you want from retirement. We live on almost 5 acres and have peace and quiet, and not to close to neighbors.
