The Villages - Brownwood

I visited the newly opened Paddock Square, the commercial area of the new Brownwood Village at "The Villages".  Watch the videos of "The Building of Brownwood" for some really interesting history. Located in the heart of Florida, The Villages is the largest single-site residential real estate development in the United States spanning over 26,000 acres in three adjoining counties in Central Florida. "Brownwood Paddock Square is the newest urban downtown and serves as a third location where entertainment, dining and shopping draw consumers from the regional market. Brownwood’s design is based on old-look architecture of Old World Florida and will take residents back to a time in the 1800’s when Florida’s cattle hunters and cowboys roamed the state. The development will be highlighted by Paddock Square, a town square where residents congregate for nightly entertainment with plenty of food and retail opportunities."  Construction is scheduled to be completed 2015.
