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 here us "Northerners" complaining about traffic on toTV.
Thanks for all the facts about north of of 466. I was talking "Forsyth Villas" and the far north. It was the "new" area being pushed by the Villages when we came to buy.

We did buy in District 2 and have lived north of 466 full time since 2004. I was posting about District 4 not the entire area north of 466. I don't think I said anything bad about it and hope I didn't upset anyone. ( This is the new me! How do you like it so far?)
