Hacienda is one of The Villages' original neighborhoods — ZIP 32159, built in the mid-1990s, and it straddles the Lake–Sumter county line: about 72% of homes are in Sumter County, the rest in Lake County. Hacienda Hills Golf and Country Club, a 27-hole championship course, is located inside the neighborhood. On the Sumter County side, District 1 reports no outstanding bond assessments for any unit; the Lake County side is not covered by the district's bond-schedule system, so verify bond status by address there. Property tax depends on which side of the line a home sits — ~1.0% in Sumter County, ~1.6% in Lake County — so verify by address. The village has four sub-sections — Hacienda North, East, West, and South — and sits blocks from Spanish Springs Town Square with Lake Sumter Landing about 5 minutes by golf cart.

Hacienda Hills Golf and Country Club is not just nearby — it is inside the neighborhood. The 27-hole championship course (Lakes and Oaks layouts) means many homes have direct golf course views and residents can walk to the first tee. Cordoba Recreation Center, which opened in early 2024 as The Villages' 116th recreation center, added a resort-style pool, pickleball courts, a putting green, and a family pool to the village's amenity list. Nearby executive courses include Mira Mesa, Silver Lake, and De La Vista.
On the Sumter County side, District 1 reports no outstanding bond assessments for any unit — most of the village has no bond payment at all. The Lake County side sits outside the district's bond-schedule system, so verify bond status by address there. The county line runs through the village, so the property tax rate depends on the specific home: ~1.0% on the Sumter County side (most of the village) and ~1.6% on the Lake County side. Either way, the math often works in buyers' favor when combined with zero bond payments. Homes are New Traditional style with 2-3 bedrooms, 2-car garages with golf cart space, and models including Catalina, Vera Cruz, Royal Palm, and Rancho Mirage. Spanish Springs Town Square is blocks away for nightly entertainment, and Lake Sumter Landing is about a 5-minute golf cart ride.
