More usable space and as you said, less lawn to mow. There is a lot of new and interesting stuff going on down there.

I made a comment about the homes in Fenney appearing even closer together than some other Villages. The rep told me that, at some point, TV started making more of an effort to take advantage of available lot space when building spec homes. If a home can be stretched, they may go ahead and stretch it. If there is room for added outdoor space, they may do that, and if there is room for a pool, often they go ahead and put one in. My lot is typical width but a little deeper than some, so my garage is stretched forward 4 feet and my lanai is stretched back about 4 feet, so what I was told seems to be true, at least in many cases. If so, that would result in homes being closer together more consistently than they may have been before. Even with the stretches, I still have a decent sized lawn front and back.
