Sumter County, Florida
One of the fastest-growing counties in America — and a top destination for 55+ and retiring buyers from across the Northeast.
Sumter County sits at the heart of Central Florida, encompassing Wildwood, Bushnell, Coleman, Center Hill, Webster, and a large portion of The Villages. It's known nationally as one of the top retirement destinations in the country — but locals know it for something more specific: a rare combination of low property taxes, strong healthcare, and easy access to Orlando, Ocala, and Tampa.
