Scottish Highlands is divided into five villages, a couple of which are dotted with lakes, giving some homeowners a nice water view. Floor plans are all single story and range from about 1,050 square feet to 2,000 square feet with two to three bedrooms and two baths.

Some homes have a screened porch, and every property has a light-colored, low-maintenance vinyl exterior around a wood frame. Some dwellings have stone accents. Nearly all have an attached one or two car garage, although some homeowners have converted their garage into more living space. A few homes have a carport.

Prices begin in the high-$100,000s. The HOA fee is about $180 to $200 per month. Please verify these prices with a Realtor as they will change.

The HOA fee covers facilities maintenance, amenities upkeep, common areas upkeep, sewers and free digital starter cable television. Homeowners must take care of their own lawn maintenance and trash pickup. It is worth noting that some lawns are a little dedraggled.

Residents enjoy a nice clubhouse with a heated lap pool with an access lift, a hot tub, a billiards room, a kiln, a fitness room, a small library and more. Outside, a small lounging pool, shuffleboard courts and tennis courts await.

The grounds are dotted with trees, and wildlife is abundant. Free RV parking is available, and small pets are welcome. A manager oversees day to day operations. Neighbors regularly gather for potlucks, dances, cards, coffees, dinners and more.

Leesburg is just an hour away from the Gulf Coast beaches and about an hour from Orlando, making this area an ideal location for a peaceful retirement with plenty of activities nearby.

Leesburg Regional Medical Center is accredited by the Joint Commission.

Florida:

The world's 11th largest peninsula doesn't just have an east coast and a west coast. It has a First Coast, Surf Coast, Space Coast, Treasure Coast, Gold Coast, Paradise Coast, Lee Island Coast, Cultural Coast, Nature Coast, Big Bend Coast, Emerald Coast, and a Forgotten Coast.

Each of these geographic regions is packed with its own history and attractions. The first place to be colonized by Europeans, the First Coast is rich with tidal marshes. It's the home of Amelia Island and St. Augustine. The venerable Castillo de San Marcos sits here and guards the Matanzas Bay.

Daytona Beach and the Halifax River are the heart of the Surf Coast. Automobile racing helped it develop its reputation. The area code is 386 (FUN). South of the fun is the Space Coast. Cocoa Beach, Cape Canaveral, and the Kennedy Space Center are a part of its culture.

Named after the Spanish fleet lost in a 1715 hurricane, the Treasure Coast's principle city is Port St. Lucie. It is a northern neighbor to Miami and the Gold Coast. The affluent Naples and major land reserves characterize the Paradise Coast. The Ringling Estate and Sarasota make the Cultural Coast come alive. Twenty miles of beaches along the Gulf Coast distinguish the Suncoast from the forests and blackwater rivers of the Nature Coast.

Travel up to Florida's Big Bend along its emerald waters. Find the Forgotten Coast. With no major cities, it may be the best place to enjoy the state's white-sand beaches.

Why are HOA Fees So High in 55+ Communities?

HOA fees (homeowner association fees) come in a wide range, and each 55+ community has a different set of guidelines for determining its HOA fees. Generally, the more amenities, the higher the fee. And often older communities have higher fees because as a development ages, maintenance costs increase. Most communities have bylaws stating how high HOA fees can be raised each year. When looking for a 55+ community, always ask about the fees. How much are they? What do they cover? How many increases have there been in the last 10 years? If the developer or sales staff will not tell you, visit on a Saturday when people are out and about and ask a resident or two about the HOA fees.
