Sawgrass Grove is the newest jewel in The Villages’ lineup of gathering places, and it brings a fresh, modern twist with its orange grove-inspired design 🍊✨ .

Atmosphere & Theme

  • A vibrant canopy of lights creates the feeling of being under a glowing orange grove.
  • Open-air design encourages dancing, mingling, and enjoying the Florida evenings.
  • It blends natural inspiration with a lively community vibe.

Entertainment

  • Free live music and performances on the Boxcar Stage, with plenty of space for dancing.
  • Rotating acts and themed nights keep the energy dynamic.
  • A true “festival feel” every evening.

Shopping

  • The Market at Sawgrass Grove features a variety of specialty shops and local vendors.
  • Boutiques, sweet shops, and unique services make it a fun place to browse.

Dining

  • Sawgrass Tavern anchors the dining scene with hearty meals and drinks.
  • Additional eateries and cafĂ©s offer diverse options, from coffee and crepes to sweets and pub fare.
  • Outdoor seating lets you enjoy the entertainment while dining.
  • Eastport really is shaping up to be the next big hub in The Villages 🌟. It’s designed as a forward-looking town center while still carrying that mid‑century charm, making it feel both nostalgic and fresh.

Atmosphere & Theme

  • Inspired by mid‑century design, with clean lines, retro touches, and a vibrant community feel.
  • Positioned as the central gathering place for what’s new and what’s coming in The Villages.
  • A “first‑of‑its‑kind” concept that blends lifestyle, recreation, and entertainment in one destination.

🎶 Entertainment & Recreation

  • Central Lake golf offerings: Driving Range, Golf Academy, and a new Golf Shop & Custom Club Shop.
  • Outdoor fun at Olympia Recreation, Bellaire Executive Golf Course, Farragut Softball Complex, Sophie Doodles Canine Park, and outdoor courts.
  • Coming soon: The Athletic Club sports complex, Summit Rock Climbing Wall, and outdoor spaces like Sunset Island, The Boathouse, and Nadine Trail.

Shopping & Dining

  • Boutiques, shops, and eateries line the streets, offering casual bites and unique finds.
  • Lucky Goat Coffee, Oak & Stone, Prime + Ember are among the first dining anchors.
  • The Market concept will expand with more shops and restaurants as development continues.

Why Eastport Stands Out

  • Unlike the other squares (Spanish Springs, Lake Sumter, Brownwood, Sawgrass), Eastport is built as a lifestyle hub—not just entertainment, but also wellness, recreation, and community connection.
  • It’s positioned as the future of The Villages, blending tradition with innovation.
  • The Eastport and Sawgrass Grove areas host 2 championship golf course Southern Oaks and Shallow Creek. They have four Regional Areas, Everglades, Fenney, Ezell, and Olympia.
