Default Middleton visit

We’re thinking about driving down to Middleton/school area to check it all out. Is there anything open down there, restaurants and such. Also is it a safe drive - no construction and nails et al on the roads.

Will be our first trek down there.
Thanks

Nothing open yet. The completed residential areas are safe if you stay out of the no trespassing areas.

Sawgrass, Magnolia Plaza, Fenny Grill and Ednas have food south of the Turnpike.

We drive down every couple of weeks. Nothing is open in Eastport. Citizens First is open in Middleton, but that’s it so far. The Sun has updates on opening in Middleton, so far 3 & 4 quarter for few shops or restaurants.

Nothing’s open yet but Boosters should be opening sometime soon. Aug I think. The employees at McGrady’s Pub have already been there to taste the food etc.

If you can, go when they are having open houses. We happened to see some innovative designs on the day we went, not the usual Villages plans.

Just make sure your gas tank is full, take bottled water, lunches in a cooler, granola bars and a compass.

Worth the trip just to drive around the school campus.

I'm assuming you know the OP and he lives very far north?

Sawgrass is north of the Turnpike.

If traveling by cart (or car) you have to drive right pass Sawgrass on your way down (20 minutes from Middleton by cart) and plenty of restaurants there for lunch or dinner. Cart path and tunnels all open all the way,..so are the roads. It’s a fun ride and eye opening!!! Enjoy’
