Chitty Chatty is a 2021 southern-area village in Sumter County (ZIP 32163) where the Chitty Chatty Nature Preserve surrounds the village on multiple sides — the developer's own description confirms a "picturesque setting of the Chitty Chatty Preserve," with preserve views and water views on many homesites. Bradford Village borders the preserve's southeast edge. The Chitty Chatty Bridge provides a confirmed 5-minute golf cart ride to Rohan Regional Recreation Complex and Lake Deaton Plaza (Publix, Walgreens). Rohan is one of the largest regional rec facilities in the southern area: Fit Club, basketball, bocce, platform tennis, pickleball, shuffleboard, tennis, sports pools, Soaring Eagle Softball Fields, and an Air Gunnery Range — the last two are among the most uncommon amenities in any Villages recreational facility. Chitty Chatty sits between Rohan and Everglades Recreation Complex, two of the largest regional facilities in this corridor. The village's own Chitty Chatty Recreation Center has a neighborhood pool, shuffleboard, and corn toss. CDD bond balances are active — High bond tier for a 2021 village.

The Chitty Chatty Nature Preserve is what makes this village's setting distinct from most others in the southern area. The developer's own documentation confirms a "picturesque setting of the Chitty Chatty Preserve" — preserve views are available from many homesites, and water views from the interconnected lakes and retention areas are also confirmed. Bradford Village borders the southeast edge of the same preserve, so the preserve buffer extends across a significant section of the southern development. The Chitty Chatty Bridge is a practical advantage: a confirmed 5-minute golf cart ride connects the village directly to Rohan Regional Recreation Complex and Lake Deaton Plaza. Rohan is a regional-scale facility with a confirmed amenity list that includes Fit Club, basketball, bocce, platform tennis, pickleball, shuffleboard, tennis, sports pools, Soaring Eagle Softball Fields, and an Air Gunnery Range. The Air Gunnery Range is one of the most uncommon amenities in The Villages rec inventory — most villages do not have access to one at all, and the 5-minute bridge ride makes it genuinely accessible from Chitty Chatty. The Soaring Eagle Softball Fields support league play for residents who want organized sports.
