What people like about the Village of Dabney
The village has its own recreation split between two facilities. Dabney Recreation serves residents with an adult pool and communal gathering spaces. Franklin Recreation adds a family pool, outdoor court, and lawn game areas — both within a short golf cart ride.
Mickylee and Jubilee are two 18-hole short game courses in the Sawgrass Grove cluster. Short game courses are faster-paced than executive courses. Ezell Recreation and Clifton Cove Putting Course are also nearby.
The Lake County tax rate is the main tradeoff buyers need to understand. At approximately 1.6%, Dabney's annual property tax on a $400,000 home runs roughly $1,240 more per year than an equivalent southern Sumter County home inside City of Wildwood limits. Then add the annual bond assessment: roughly $1,593 to $2,885 in most sections, above $3,000 in a few, and about $5,258 in The Enclave at Dabney. That's a real number worth calculating before you fall in love with the oak canopy.
