Hemingway is named for Ernest Hemingway — one of the most recognized literary names of any village in The Villages. The village sits directly adjacent to Havana Country Club's 27-hole championship layout, and the Hemingway nine — one of Havana CC's three 9-hole nines — shares the village's name. Roosevelt Executive Golf Course is also on the doorstep. Hemingway is in the central area of The Villages, in Sumter County (ZIP 32162), in the corridor between CR 466 and CR 466A, within golf cart range of both Lake Sumter Landing and Brownwood Paddock Square.

Hemingway sits in the corridor between CR 466 and CR 466A — the stretch buyers often call "between the sixes" — which puts it in golf cart range of both Lake Sumter Landing Market Square and Brownwood Paddock Square simultaneously. The Village of Duval is the immediate neighbor, and both villages share the same golf adjacency: Havana Country Club is the most prominent amenity in the corridor, with three 9-hole nines (Kenya, Kilimanjaro, and the Hemingway nine that shares this village's name) combining to a 27-hole championship layout. Roosevelt Executive Golf Course is also directly accessible, included with the amenity fee for walking play. Buyers who want championship and executive golf on the doorstep, without the higher bond costs of the southern area, find this corridor consistently competitive.
Hemingway has its own neighborhood pool — the Hemingway Neighborhood Pool — for day-to-day convenience without driving or carting to a regional rec center. SeaBreeze Recreation Center and Truman Recreation Center both serve the broader corridor. Colony Plaza supplies the core shopping needs most central-area buyers expect: Publix, Walgreens, Mezza Luna, McDonald's, Bob Evans, and medical offices, all reachable by golf cart. Bond assessments in Hemingway run about $713 to $1,468 per year under District 7's Series 2015 schedule, scheduled to reach zero in 2036 — a Low-tier annual cost, well under the roughly $2,700-to-$3,600 assessments verified in the newest southern area villages. The villa sections (Seneca, Mariel, Margaux, and Adriana Villas) sit at the lower end, about $713 to $898 per year. Verify the exact balance by address for any specific home.
Hemingway is in the central area of The Villages, in Sumter County, ZIP 32162. It sits in the corridor between CR 466 and CR 466A, within golf cart range of both Lake Sumter Landing Market Square and Brownwood Paddock Square.
Hemingway was built in 2008–2009 per county parcel records, late in The Villages' central-area expansion during that decade.
Hemingway has Patio Villas and Designer Homes.
Hemingway is positioned between two town squares: Lake Sumter Landing Market Square to the north and Brownwood Paddock Square to the south, both within golf cart range. This dual access is one of the advantages of the "between the sixes" corridor.
Havana Country Club is directly adjacent — a 27-hole championship layout with three 9-hole nines, including the Hemingway nine. Roosevelt Executive Golf Course is also directly accessible, included with the amenity fee for walking play.
The Village of Hemingway is named for Ernest Hemingway, the American novelist. The Villages names its villages after a mix of historical figures, geographic references, and other themes. The adjacent Havana Country Club continues the Cuba-connected naming: Hemingway lived in Cuba for two decades, and the club's Kenya and Kilimanjaro nines extend the theme to his Africa-set work.
Havana Country Club is a 27-hole championship course made up of three 9-hole nines: Kenya, Kilimanjaro, and Hemingway. The Hemingway nine shares its name with the adjacent village. All three nines are championship-level pay-to-play; the adjacent Roosevelt Executive Golf Course is the free-walking-play option for residents with the amenity fee.
