It was a 22 mile drive to get there from where we are renting. Would someone elighten me what the attraction of Fenny? I’m also under the impression that there’s a prison not too far away from Fenny?
Part of the attraction is the prison and it's famous residents, no worry there. By the time you come back you won't have to cross the turnpike to get here, Fenney is just about built out and there will be plenty of Villages on either side of the Turnpike, take your pick, east or west, there will be golf cart access on both sides along with Buena Vista coming down. If you rent further south next time you won't be 22 miles away, you can be as near as just 4 miles away and then you can get here in just a few minutes. There are plenty of villages to choose from and it all depends on what you want, new homes are scarce up north although there are some being built, used homes are scarce down here although there are a few owners that are already building their second homes down here and selling their first. There is something for everyone in TV and if south of 44 isn't for you, that's all well and good, somebody has to buy the re-sales up north and I'm sure there are plenty of people that will do just that. Good luck on your future decisions.
