Take a drive down Buena Vista from Nancy Lopez to 44. You will see a huge difference, huge oak trees lining the boulevard and mature greenery giving way to a more barren look as you head further south.

Less amenities? Sorry but facts are facts.

North of 466:

Executive golf courses = 13
Championship Golf courses = 5
Sport pools = 3
Dog Parks = 2

South of 466 to 466A
Executive golf courses = 16
Championship golf courses = 4
Sport Pools = 4
Dog Parks = 1

There are actually less homes North of 466 than in the section South of 466 to 466A, the most populous area of TV currently.

Amenities that exist North of 466 that are not anywhere else south?

Polo Fields
Savannah Center
The Sharon Center
Katie Belles
2 bowling alleys
Villages Woodshop
The best full court tennis facilities: Glenview, Lopez, Hacienda

There are adult pools, family pools, and rec centers all over TV, every village has these.

Bonds? Highest percentage of zero or low CDD bonds is North of 466. Bond on my Designer in Woodbury was originally less than $10k, now they are $30k in Fenney.

And yes, north of 466 villages have way less traffic, you don't hear us "Northerners" complaining about traffic on TOTV.

PS Lyle Gant MLS stats for sales in 2017, average Designer cost $50,000 less North of 466, that cost difference plus zero or low CDD bond owed equals a whole lot of remodeling and furniture.
