Hi, yes Duval has all of the above. We have a beautiful shopping center, great new Publix, Walgreens, etc. The Colony Plaza has many stores and yes, now a gas station. And more keep opening. The Colony Rec Center is beautiful and there is also Truman Rec Center. Duval has it's own beautiful pool, but really you can use any pool in the area. Havana Country Club is not open yet, but shortly, and promises to be one of the best. Same people that run Kane Garden, so the food will be great. They will also have a pool.
Only 10 mins to LSL by golf cart. I'm there all the time. I'll tell you, I think it's a wonderful area. Everything is accessable. And they are building out from here, so we'll be centrally located between LSL and Brownwood (The new Market Square).
Yes, social clubs abound. I don't have the links. Another member dickY has them and I'll ask him to post them or you can pm him. A very sweet man. I would say to Spanish Springs by golf cart, it takes us about 20 min. I find everything is very very accessible.
I think you would love Duval. I know I do.
