McClure is an official division of the Village of Fenney — confirmed by The Villages as a new division within Fenney's footprint, south of SR 44 in Sumter County (ZIP 32163), not a separate land purchase. That relationship gives McClure residents access to Fenney's established amenity network alongside their own dedicated facility: Willow Tree Recreation Center, which has an adult pool, nature preserve, natural springs, trails, and walking paths. Built 2019–2020, with Loblolly and Longleaf Executive Golf Courses running through the neighborhood. The newer south-of-SR-44 development district carries a ~1.3% effective Sumter County tax rate and active CDD bond balances — higher ongoing cost than older central Villages properties.

The Fenney division designation is the most unusual thing about McClure in The Villages — few neighborhoods can say they officially share an identity and amenity network with another village. In practice, Fenney Recreation Center's facilities are part of McClure residents' amenity access in addition to Willow Tree Recreation Center located within McClure itself. Willow Tree is the more distinctive of the two: natural springs and a nature preserve on-site give it a character unlike any other recreation center in the newer southern corridor. Trails, walking paths, and parks surround the facility alongside the standard adult pool, bocce, shuffleboard, pavilion, and corn toss. Loblolly Executive Golf Course and Longleaf Executive Golf Course run through the neighborhood, with some homes sited directly alongside the fairways. The small population (~414 residents) means quieter facilities and a walkable neighborhood character uncommon in the larger southern villages.
Magnolia Plaza is about 5 minutes away — the commercial anchor for this section of the southern area, serving McClure, Monarch Grove, and surrounding villages with everyday shopping and dining. Everglades Recreation Center, shared with Marsh Bend, adds another recreation option in the corridor. Brownwood Paddock Square is approximately 10 minutes by cart. For annual cost: the newer south-of-SR-44 development district carries a ~1.3% effective Sumter County property tax rate, higher than the ~1.0% rate on older central Villages properties. Active CDD bond balances from 2019–2020 construction add to that carrying cost. Run the full number — bond, ~1.3% taxes, and the amenity fee (~$204/month in early 2026) — before comparing to central or northern Villages listings at a similar price point.
