Yet, even that isn't accurate. Linden is east of Fenney and 44 is north. Linden is opposite CR501 from McClure, parallel to the turnpike.

Plenty of confusion to go around by the area being called "Fenney" as a whole. Actually the greater area is called The Villages of Southern Oaks, but even that brings confusion because people ask where the village of Southern Oaks is (it does not exist). I've also heard people refer to the Village of Marsh Landing (it's Marsh Bend). and I've heard speculators assume that the next town square will be in Marsh Bend because they are putting food trucks there and food trucks were at Lake Sumter before it was a square and at Brownwood before it was a square. Only problem is - there is nowhere left in Marsh Bend to fit a square.

Rule of thumb when someone claims to be giving you "first to know" information around here is, if the words "I heard" are anywhere in the conversation, take whatever comes next with a grain of salt.

OP, I live in a Veranda, in Fenney. There are no new ones left or currently being built. The area beside the golf courses is bound to be something some day, but most people would not be in a position to know for sure. The Verandas in Fenney were the first ever, but each new village, other than DeSoto, has had Verandas built within it. They are a popular option, so I would expect that to continue as the villages grows. If you really want to be in a Veranda, in Fenney, stop by, take a look, and make me an offer. I always have a price for which I can be bought.
