Welcome to the Village of Creekside Landing, one of the most coveted pockets in The Villages, Florida — where lifestyle isn’t a feature, it’s your daily reality. From your front door, it’s less than a five-minute walk to Lake Sumter Square for nightly live music, dancing under the stars, waterfront dining, boutique shopping, and year-round events. Forget parking. Forget planning. Just go.
Need groceries? Aldi is less than a half-mile golf cart ride away. Medical offices, banking, restaurants, and everyday conveniences are all at your fingertips. This is true “park-the-car” living in one of the most walkable and golf-cart-connected areas in all of The Villages.
This Marathon model courtyard villa offers the perfect balance of privacy and proximity — tucked into a boutique-style enclave that feels worlds away from the activity, yet sits right in the center of it all.
Inside, the thoughtfully designed 2 Bed | 2 Bath layout is perfectly proportioned for full-time or seasonal living. Tile flooring flows through the main areas, luxury vinyl plank in the bedrooms, stainless steel Samsung appliances, enclosed lanai, neutral finishes, and a 2024 ROOF offer TURNKEY peace of mind. The private fenced courtyard creates an ideal space for pets, entertaining, or quiet morning coffee.
Creekside Landing residents enjoy a neighborhood pool that feels almost private due to the intimate design of the community — many homeowners say it feels like having their own pool without the maintenance. The village also has an active social calendar with resident-led groups and monthly activities that create connection without sacrificing privacy.
Golfers will appreciate being surrounded by multiple executive courses and quick access to the Arnold Palmer Championship Course. Pickleball players are minutes from Seabreeze Recreation Center.
Prime Lake Sumter locations like this consistently command stronger values than villas located further south or away from the town squares — because walkability, golf-cart access to retail, and central convenience are lifestyle assets that simply cannot be replicated.
