- Newest homes and the highest bonds — plan for them
What it feels like
Sawgrass Grove is an entertainment and recreation hub rather than a traditional town square. The Market houses a cluster of restaurants and shops under one roof; the Ezell Regional Recreation Complex adds pools, courts and a big activity calendar; and Southern Oaks brings championship golf. The surrounding villages date from roughly 2019 onward. [DRAFT — Kevin to edit]
Homes and costs
Mostly designer and premier homes plus villas built in the last few years — and a steady supply of brand-new construction from the developer. Nearly every home carries a large bond, and some newer districts add a fire assessment. Compare a near-new resale against the developer’s current offering; the numbers are often closer than people expect. [DRAFT — Kevin to edit]

Common questions
Do new-construction homes always have a bond?
Yes — a new home carries a full bond for its district. Resale homes may have a partly or fully paid bond, which is one of the biggest cost differences between resale and new. [PLACEHOLDER — Kevin to review]
