Since a lot of the non-Village houses along 468 are for sale, we wonder why The Villages did not buy them when they were building Fenney. I guess we will never know.

All of the homes for sale along 468 are zoned commercial and I'm sure they are asking a healthy number for them. One of the larger parcels appears to already have been sold. There was also a 30 acre hold out on 501 adjoining McClure and I heard that TV now owns that parcel, also zoned commercial. The remaining homes on 468 will at some point end up being little plazas like there are all around TV. I just noticed the other day there is a sign up on the north side of 468 in the State Farm building for The Villages Golf Cars sales and repairs, never noticed it before and my guess would be that they bought the building as I don't think they would pay someone rent when they own so much land. The only complaint I have heard of down here about non-village neighbors was a dog barking all day while the owners were at work. They were talked with about it and the dog owners took care of the problem. I don't think there is much resentment, their property values sure jumped up. Also, a lot of those remaining might be renters with leases that haven't ended yet. I'm sure there are a lot of different reasons why they are still there.
