What’s New in The Villages: 2025
Happy New Year! The Villages keeps growing, and 2025 is shaping up to be a big year, especially on the community’s south side. Here is a look at what’s new and what’s coming, as of January 2025.
Eastport: The Villages’ newest town square
Eastport is The Villages’ next town square, joining Spanish Springs, Lake Sumter Landing, Brownwood Paddock Square and Sawgrass Grove. Development is well under way, and several pieces are expected to open over the coming months:
- A new Welcome Center, a multimillion-dollar building expected to open in spring 2025, where future residents can learn about The Villages.
- A health care center from The Villages Health, expected to be among Eastport’s first businesses.
- Olympia Recreation Center, planned with a fitness club, gymnasium and even a rock climbing wall.
- Hotel Eastport, which has been under construction since early 2024.
- A waterfront stage overlooking the water and Sunset Island, for concerts and evening entertainment.
- New restaurants, including the steakhouse Prime & Ember, which offered a preview to residents in December.
New neighborhoods and homes
Home building continues south of State Road 44, with new villages such as the Village of Marsh Bend. Apartment living is also an option at The Lofts at Brownwood.
What it means for families
As The Villages grows, so do the number of families looking for trusted care close to home.
