Village of Chatham Homes for Sale
Chatham is a northern area village in Marion County, built 2002–2004 with a 2018 Soulliere section, about 5.5 miles (straight-line) from Spanish Springs Town Square. Most Chatham addresses use ZIP 32162; some homes in the Soulliere section use 34491. Homes still carrying the bond pay about $195 to $474 a year under District 4's Series 2022 schedule, scheduled to reach zero in 2032 — and the Soulliere villa section (Unit 233) carries no bond at all. The honest trade-off: Marion County property taxes run higher than Sumter County at roughly 1.53% effective rate, so buyers comparing Chatham to central-area Sumter villages need to run the full annual cost. Lower bond, higher tax — the math favors Chatham when the bond savings outweigh the tax premium on a specific home.

What people like about the Village of Chatham
The bond picture is the defining financial fact about Chatham. District 4's published schedules show homes still carrying the bond pay about $195 to $474 a year under the Series 2022 schedule, scheduled to reach zero in 2032 — and the Soulliere villa section (Unit 233) shows no outstanding bond at all. Compared with central-area or southern-area villages that carry Average-tier or higher bonds, Chatham's annual bond line is lower. That savings is real, but Marion County's higher property tax rate, compared to Sumter County, can offset some or all of it. Run the math on any specific home before comparing neighborhoods on sticker price alone. Spanish Springs Town Square is the closest entertainment hub, about 5.5 miles away (straight-line). Lake Sumter Landing is nearly as close, at about 5.7 miles.
Chatham Recreation Center is the village's own named facility. Nancy Lopez Legacy Country Club is the closest championship course, about 1.5 miles away by road.
