Why Buyers Choose Bonnybrook
Bonnybrook is an established north-of-466 village from the early-to-mid 1990s, positioned well for golf cart access to executive golf courses and to Lake Sumter Landing. The village is characterized by its strong social culture — the north-of-466 section in general has a more settled, community-oriented feel compared to the higher-turnover south section, and Bonnybrook exemplifies that.
Bond balances on Bonnybrook resales are typically very low to zero. The homes are 1980s–1990s vintage — modest by modern standards in terms of size and features, but well-suited for buyers who want a home that is easy to maintain and carry on a retirement income. The Marion County tax advantage adds to the overall cost efficiency of this village.
