What people like about the Village of Del Mar
Del Mar is part of the original Lake County section of The Villages, built between 1989 and 1994. The village sits about half a mile in a straight line from Spanish Springs Town Square, making it one of the closest residential villages to The Villages' original entertainment hub. Golf cart access to Chula Vista Executive Golf Course and Hacienda Hills Country Club is immediate — both are directly adjacent to the Del Mar area.
Coastal del Mar, a seafood restaurant at 990 Del Mar Drive, sits within the village itself — a fresh dining option in a neighborhood that predates most of the restaurant infrastructure built into newer village corridors. The cost picture is worth understanding before you commit: Lake County's effective property tax rate runs approximately 1.6% (2025), the highest of the three counties in The Villages — roughly $2,400 more per year than a comparably priced home in Sumter County. The offsetting factor is the bond: there is none, and never has been — this section sits outside the numbered CDD system, which removes a cost that still applies to most newer villages. Run the full annual number — taxes plus amenity fee, with zero bond — before comparing to Sumter County listings at similar price points.

- Lake County tax rate vs. Sumter County Del Mar is in Lake County, which carries the highest effective property tax rate of the three counties in The Villages — approximately 1.6% (2025), versus ~1.0% in Sumter County. On a $400,000 home that is roughly $2,400 more per year. The no-bond position partially offsets this, but run the full annual cost — taxes plus amenity fee — for any specific home before comparing to Sumter County alternatives.
- Mixed construction types Homes in Del Mar include block, wood frame, and manufactured construction. Each construction type has different maintenance and insurance implications. Confirm the construction type and insurance costs for any specific home during due diligence.
- Age of construction Homes here are 30–40 years old. That age brings character and established landscaping, but also means roofs, HVAC systems, plumbing, and electrical should all receive careful inspection. Budget for major system replacement if not recently updated.
- Roof age Roof age and condition can affect insurance options, and requirements vary by insurer. Confirm the roof's age and condition during inspection, and check current requirements with your insurance provider.
