I walk a lot of miles and walking through tunnels and next to golf carts and cars and trucks can be dangerous.
The last thing on my checklist before we commit to buying is the location of the blasting. A facebook post claims that the blasting takes place in three places, at Dixie Lime, at a cement plant next door and in a third area which wasn’t clearly identified. My main concern is that third area if, in fact, that Facebook post is true. I also asked for details on Facebook but did not receive an answer. I’ve attached a google earth screenshot which shows what looks like a quarry just south of the Villages, a lot closer than Dixie or the cement plant which is in the bottom of the screenshot to the left. Does blasting take place here? Would it be the Wildwood Town offices that might have information? Presently in R.I. but should be arriving in the Villages a week from today. I should add that we’ve talked to quite a few people in Fenney/DeSoto/McClure and I haven’t heard from anyone who regretted their purchase. Still need to do my “due diligence” though.

Please use search in the toolbar above and find a number of threads that I suspect that at least some were started by disgruntled MLS realtors who are not allowed to sell new properties in The Villages and would like to discourage people from buying new properties. AND MAYBE I AM WRONG ABOUT THAT.
Anyway bruceynelson, there are many discussions and many assurances and many jokes and then there are some discussions about the Federal Prison being close too. Meanwhile a lot of nice folks are enjoying their lives in Fenney and the new Villages as they are built and filling in North of Fenney.
Good luck and happy hunting. It is my belief that it is hard to find an area of The Villages that isn't enjoyed by it's residents.
NO. I don't sell houses.
NO. I don't know the Morses.
Yes, I am so happy I live here.
Merry Christmas.
