Why Buyers Choose Tall Trees
Tall Trees earns its name — the community was developed in the early-to-mid 1990s and the trees have had decades to mature into a genuine canopy over the streets and golf cart paths. For buyers who find the open, sun-exposed feel of newer sections too stark, Tall Trees delivers the shaded, settled atmosphere that many relocating Northeasterners specifically seek.
Homes here are slightly larger than the oldest north-of-466 villages, reflecting mid-1990s construction norms. The price point is at the upper end of the north section but still well below south-of-466 pricing. Bond balances are low to minimal, and Marion County taxes apply. The tree canopy that makes the neighborhood beautiful is also an annual maintenance consideration — Florida trees require care.
