Village Overview
Why Buyers Choose Duval
Duval's primary appeal is its position on the golf cart path network relative to Lake Sumter Landing. Buyers who place high value on proximity to the original, most iconic Villages entertainment hub will find Duval among the better-positioned villages on the north side for that access. The golf cart path system connects Duval directly to the square without crossing major roads.
The village dates from the early 1990s, and home sizes and construction quality reflect that. Prices sit in the mid-range for the north section — not the entry-level pricing of Orange Blossom Gardens, but meaningfully below south-of-466 equivalents. Bond balances are low to zero.
