What people like about the Village of Alhambra

Alhambra is close to Spanish Springs Town Square — The Villages' original town square with nightly live entertainment, dining, and boutique shopping. Being 5–15 minutes by cart means residents can genuinely use the square as part of their regular routine, not just for special occasions.

The trees planted in the late 1990s are now fully grown. Canopy streets and established landscaping are impossible to replicate in new construction. For buyers who've toured both the northern area and the southern area and noticed the difference in maturity, neighborhoods like Alhambra are where that character lives.

CDD bonds on 1997–2001 construction have had 25+ years to pay down. Most Alhambra homes carry minimal or zero annual bond payment — and Sumter County's lower property tax rate means the total annual carrying cost here tends to be comparatively low for the size and quality of home.
