We have been snowbirds in many different villages since 2004 and Fenney just felt like home as soon as we saw it and that was almost a year ago, we bought our home the same day and are now full time villagers. One nice thing about it for now is you can enjoy all of what TV has to offer by using your car and on hot summer days the car is much more comfortable for getting from here to wherever. We do have a golf car and use it for swimming, using the various recreation center amenities, social gatherings, dining at the Bar and Grill, and now will use it in DeSoto. It doesn't take long to get to Brownwood or Lake Sumter Landing by car, we don't go further north than LSL except an occasional trip to Kattie Belle's. Publix, fuel, and banking, is less than 10 minutes, 15 to 20 minutes to the Leesburg Hospital depending on lights, and for major shopping it is exactly 25 minutes via I-75 to the Ocala shopping district, about the same to the 27/441 district, we prefer Ocala. Less than 3 miles from the turnpike and I-75 entrance on 301. One Sunday we decided to drive down to the Tampa Hard Rock Casino, 56 minutes door to door. By driving a little to get to the other amenities we get to come back to peace and quiet and very little traffic, this will change in the future but for now it is quite relaxing down here and travel to anywhere is not a burden. It changes by the day and it's a lot of fun to watch it grow. Always try to keep my glass half full.
