Village Overview
Why Buyers Choose Buttonwood
Buttonwood is characterized by its strong executive golf course proximity — multiple courses are accessible by cart path from the village, making it a natural choice for buyers who plan to play golf frequently and want to minimize cart travel time. The north-of-466 golf course network is dense, and Buttonwood is well-positioned within it.
The community dates from the early 1990s with home sizes that reflect the era. Bond balances are typically very low to zero, and Marion County taxes apply. For buyers who golf — and who use the executive courses exclusively, not the championship courses — Buttonwood's combination of golf access, low costs, and established community feel is compelling.
