Springdale is in the northern area of The Villages, in Marion County (ZIP 32162) — the same county band as Chatham, Briar Meadow, and Calumet Grove. Nancy Lopez Legacy Country Club is about 1.7 miles away; Briar Meadow is the village built directly into that course, while Springdale has cart and car access to the same championship. Built 2001–2004, the village has one of the broadest home-type mixes of any northern village — Courtyard Villa, Cottage Home, Patio Villa, and Designer Home, ranging from about 1,158 to 2,754 sq ft. Marion County property taxes run approximately 1.5% — higher than Sumter County — pair that with the mostly paid-off bond balances typical of this build era when modeling annual carrying costs.

Nancy Lopez Legacy Country Club is 1.7 miles from Springdale by car or cart — the same championship course that Briar Meadow is built directly into. Glenview Champions Country Club is about the same distance in a different direction. Most northern villages are within range of one nearby championship course; Springdale sits within easy reach of two. The home-type range here is broader than most villages in this era: Courtyard Villas, Cottage Homes, Patio Villas, and Designer Homes all exist within the same neighborhood, spanning roughly 1,158 to 2,754 sq ft — a wider set of buyers can find something that fits.
Springdale has its own recreation center with a pedestrian path connecting to the neighborhood, plus a separate dedicated neighborhood pool. Mulberry Plaza — with a Publix — is nearby for everyday shopping, and proximity to the VA Center is a practical consideration for veteran buyers. On cost: Marion County's property tax rate runs approximately 1.5%, higher than the Sumter County rate that applies to most Villages properties. That is the same tradeoff buyers see in Chatham and Briar Meadow — not a surprise, but a number to run. On the other side, 2001–2004 construction means most homes have had their CDD bond paid off or carry a very small remaining balance. Model both figures together before comparing to Sumter County villages.
