The Village of Chitty Chatty sits south of State Road 44 and is part of Community Development District 13, with Phase 1 covering 585 acres. The Chitty Chatty Bridge helps residents get by golf cart to places like the Rohan Recreation Center, Deaton Plaza, and Brownwood Paddock Square, connecting over State Road 44, which some folks find convenient, and the bridge stands out as one of the major features around here. The place gets its name from Chitty Chatty Swamp by the Rohan Recreation Center. Waterfront lots at Chitty Chatty were selling before the Coronavirus started changing things, and there are dedicated fees for shared infrastructure, with over eight hundred thousand dollars paid recently for project-wide costs. The community covers expenses for all four bridges, so residents help keep things up, including other bridges like Brownwood, Water Lilly, and Bexley.
One of the available homes is the Emerald model, a Patio Villa at Village of Chitty Chatty #8140. Built in 2021, it's a corner lot with 1,426 square feet, three bedrooms, two bathrooms-master bath has double sinks-a king-sized bed in the master, a queen in the guest room, and modern decor with cable TV and WIFI. There's a patio, sheltered lanai, laundry room, a one-car garage, and a golf cart garage. The floors are uncarpeted, there's a kitchen desk area, and there's a pergola with an insulated roof. Residents get trash pickup, lawn service, and taxes included, and there are rules like no pets and no smoking; the home's available from April to December 2025, and there's a security deposit. There's access to walking paths, parks, dog parks, nature trails, and pathways, and the home sits near pools, mailboxes, Brownwood, and Sawgrass Square.
For leisure, the community has golf facilities, with trail fees for use and upkeep of the courses, and it also runs The Enrichment Academy, offering classes and clubs. People join activities like socials, Camp Villages, S.T.A.R., Senior Games, Running of the Squares, Fit Club, fishing, and outdoor trips. The area has championship softball, pools, recreation centers of all types, sports courts, and volunteer groups for different interests, plus options for reserving spaces for activities. Services include public safety, emergency management, employment help, water and sanitation, irrigation scheduling, and bulk trash pickup. Residents use special programs like Adopt-A-Bench, RV storage, Resident Academy, and there are community standards, bulletin boards, and CDD orientation meetings. Families can bring young visitors for limited stays, but it remains a place for people age 55 and older, with programs and care that fit an active lifestyle. There are also assisted living and memory care options, so seniors can get help with daily needs if they want. Community staff handle budgets, district matters, and maintenance so residents have support for daily life and the property stays in good shape.
