Default Visit to Fenney

Yesterday morning I headed to an open house in Fenney. From the Target store on 441, it took me almost 30 minutes to get to Fenney (I stick to the speed limit or a few miles above). Driving to Fenney on 468 I counted 3 covered wagons with The Villages logo on them.

The Fenney rec center was lovely, and the sales office is inside the rec center, so there are lot of people available to give directions and answer questions. I ventured onto the walking path for a few minutes. I was told the walking path is 5 miles -- great for nature viewing.

The Villages sales rep. at the open house I attended said that 200 homes have been sold so far in Fenney since the homes sales started earlier this year.

When I was driving to Fenney and saw The Villages covered wagons on 468, it really struck me about how much larger The Villages will be in a few years. Workers in the construction trades should be kept employed for quite some time working on home construction in The Villages.
