Village Overview
Why Buyers Choose St. Charles
St. Charles is an original-section village from the late 1980s–early 1990s that is consistently cited by north-of-466 residents for its good cart-path position relative to Lake Sumter Landing. The path from St. Charles to the square is among the more direct in the north section, and for buyers who plan to use the square frequently, that matters.
The homes are appropriately priced for their vintage — this is not where you buy if you need 2,000 square feet, but it is where you buy if you want good value, low bond, Marion County taxes, and reliable access to the most iconic town square in The Villages. The price range makes it one of the more accessible north-of-466 villages for budget-conscious buyers.
