What people like about the Alden Bungalows
The buying case for Alden Bungalows is a specific combination: Brownwood walking access and an exclusively Courtyard Villa environment. No other village at confirmed walking distance from Brownwood Paddock Square is built entirely with Courtyard Villas. The enclosed private courtyard format moves outdoor living space to the interior of the home's footprint rather than toward the street — a walled or partially walled outdoor room rather than a conventional yard. The Arlington Courtyard Villa runs approximately 1,850 square feet, which addresses the most common buyer hesitation about Courtyard Villas: size. Alden Bungalows Recreation Center provides the village's own pool, bocce, pavilion, and shuffleboard, at 3538 Kiessel Drive.
Trillium Recreation Center is nearby and serves as the meeting point for the Alden Bungalows Social Club, which meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 5 PM — an organized social structure that helps new residents integrate faster than in villages where social connection happens informally. Eisenhower Recreation Center is also accessible in the Brownwood corridor. The cost picture: the bond runs about $1,115 a year (2025 balance about $12,800) under District 10's Series 2023 schedule, scheduled to reach zero in 2044 — lower than the newer southern villages, but still present and worth verifying in writing for any specific home before making an offer. The effective tax rate is approximately 1.29% (2025) — Alden Bungalows sits inside City of Wildwood limits, which adds the Wildwood municipal millage on top of the Sumter County rate.
