The pace of growth and construction in TV is like no other place I have ever experienced. If you buy or build the first home in a neighborhood you will likely be amazed at how soon the neighborhood is built out. When we first came in 2010 the villages around Lake Sumter Landing were the southernmost areas in TV. Each subsequent year when we came in January we were blown away at the growth we saw, and how established these new areas actually appeared. When they began moving dirt/sand south of 466a we thought, that is getting pretty remote - Ha! We finally this year bought a villa for part time living in Sanibel, and love the location - close to shopping, rec centers, and 15-20 executive golf courses. We have looked at many open houses in the Fenny/DeSoto area and are amazed at some of the options and enhancements they have made in that area. We, personally, would not likely ever locate to that area, not because of any perceived limitations or problems, but simply because we love the area we are in and it is close to the things we first fell in love with almost 9 years ago. I think people who are moving here and experiencing The Villages for the first time will find a lot to like in Southern Oaks area just as we did years ago in the north-central area. You can't go wrong IMHO.
