I can't see how the Village of Fenney will cause any impact on the amenities here. If they have pools, Rec Center, executive Golf Courses etc, they are not going to get in the car for a minimum of a 5 mile drive to go to an activity at one of our Rec centers.

It will be an isolated 55 plus community that "has access" to the rest of The Villages. If someone wants to really have realistic access to our amenities, they would buy here. There are always plenty of resales, that won't change.

The people that buy there will be the people who are happy with the amenities that exist there in The Village of Fenney.

.....That is unless The Villages snaps up some land adjacent and starts to really grow down there. I think most of us find enough to do near our homes that we seldom need to go to the opposite end of The Villages for amenities. Especially if we can't get there on a golf cart.
I live in Lake Deaton and many times have traveled to Rohan to play pickle ball as all of the closer courts are full. That is almost 4 miles. It will have some impact on our amenities as I don’t believe many will go to Coleman for fun and games.
