What people like about the Village of Pine Hills
Belle Glade Country Club is directly adjacent to Pine Hills — a championship course with fine dining, one of the more complete club facilities in the southern Villages corridor. Colony Cottage Recreation Center is the village's named rec facility. The Sharon Rose Wiechens Preserve runs along the village's edge: a natural preserve with native Florida vegetation that adds a sense of open space uncommon in a planned retirement community. Pine Hills has its own adult pool — the Pine Hills Adult Pool — a separate facility from the Pine Ridge Adult Pool in sister village Pine Ridge, so residents are not sharing an adult facility across two villages.
The cost picture requires clarity before committing. Lake County's effective property tax rate runs approximately 1.6% (2025) — the highest of the three counties in The Villages, roughly $2,400 per year more than a comparably priced home in Sumter County. Combined with an active CDD bond that varies by section — most of the village runs a moderate roughly $1,429 to $1,786 per home per year under District 11's schedules (scheduled to reach zero in 2045), while the Unit 31 section is a genuine high pocket at about $3,950 per year — Pine Hills sits at the higher end of ongoing carrying costs in The Villages. Verify the bond for a specific address before making an offer. The offsetting case is real: Belle Glade CC adjacency, the preserve, and Colony Plaza — the same shopping hub that serves the Village of Hemingway — put Publix, Walgreens, medical offices, and casual dining within golf cart reach. Buyers who prioritize championship golf adjacency and natural-area character, and who run the full annual cost honestly, will find the comparison clear.

- Lake County tax rate vs. Sumter County Pine Hills is in Lake County (District 11), not Sumter County. Lake County's effective property tax rate is approximately 1.6% (2025) — roughly $2,400 more per year than a $400,000 home in Sumter County at ~1.0%.

- Fruitland Park section — District 11 governance Pine Hills is governed by District 11, a separate CDD from the central and northern Villages districts. Utility billing, district assessments, and governance structures may differ from what buyers familiar with Sumter County districts expect. Review the specific District 11 assessment schedule from districtgov.org before closing.
- Roof age Florida insurance carriers are strict about roof age. Check that the roof was replaced in the past 10–15 years, or budget for replacement.
- HVAC age Florida systems work hard. Anything older than about 12–15 years is worth a closer look during inspection.
