The Village of De La Vista

The Village of De La Vista sits within The Villages community in Florida and covers both the De La Vista and De La Vista West neighborhoods, serving residents aged 55 and older who want options for recreation, entertainment, and active living, and though the homes here were built between 1994 and 1999, you'll see single-family houses, condos, townhouses, and lofts ranging from 786 to 2,579 square feet, often offering 1 to 3 bedrooms and bathrooms, and you'll find some properties like the Hilltop Golf Course Cottage or others close to Lake Sumter Landing, Spanish Springs, and the Hacienda Hills Golf and Country Club, with homes that might sleep 4 or 6 people, usually with 1 or 2 bathrooms, and plenty that are pet-friendly or near shopping. The community brings a wide range of amenities including parks, dog parks, nature trails for walking and exercise, golf courses with golf cart access, and pools with a reservation system, alongside entertainment venues, shopping and dining, health and wellness services, and regular events and programs-these can include socials, live music, senior games, Fit Club, S.T.A.R. activities, championship softball, fishing, outdoor excursions, Camp Villages, and Running of the Squares, plus many other programs and volunteer groups for those who want to stay involved. There's reliable management by a Board of Supervisors appointed to Community Development District 1, with regular district meetings for residents, and the community also provides administrative help for budgeting, purchasing, and district services, along with community watch, RV storage, customer service for resident ID cards, and CDD orientation, plus the Enrichment Academy offers classes for people looking to learn new things or join group activities. People who need help with water service, sanitation, reporting problems, utility payments, or irrigation get support from on-site staff and there's bulk pick-up for sanitation as well. The area includes pharmacies, several healthcare professionals, and many local doctors for medical help, with most homes offering WiFi and air conditioning, and access to recreational features like golf course trails, open parks, and pathways, plus plenty of nearby shopping, entertainment, and cafes for social time. De La Vista hosts a mix of care services focused on lifestyle and community needs, and though some properties are rated as "Better Than A 5 Star Hotel," it's more about offering practical support, safety, and choices for active adults, not so much hands-on nursing care, and vacation rental properties are available for those who want to try the community out before making a decision. The maintenance covers public safety, emergency management, and regular property upkeep, with projects like Morse Boulevard studies always under review. De La Vista's size and range of activities, from simple strolls in landscaped parks to organized fitness and enrichment programs, let people choose what fits them best, making it a practical option for active seniors seeking a full mix of recreation, services, and community living.
