[QUOTE=Ashley from UK;1707390]Hi Bill & Sabrina - the 2 lots next to ours are still available, you could always become our future neighbours
We are restricted to 6 months a year due to US Visa restrictions, so won't bug you most of the time
I still have to work in the UK so we won't be over much for the next coupled of years, so will probably only use the home for about 3-4 weeks a year at best. I don't want to rent it either so it will be empty most of the time until about 2024. Our home is due mid July - or August if the FX hits $1:40 - £ 1.00 (the FX difference means we can get an extended pool and Lania for nothing!). I know what you feel about the power lines, My only gripe on our lot is that you can see 2 pylons in the distance, One will be obsured by trees on the golf course I expect, but that still leaves one... much as it anoys me I will simply have to photo shop it out or any photos
I had been looking at the area on the map from January last year and prior to coming out on the lifestyle. I had pretty much determined the area I wanted and check TV at least twice a day. The desired lots suddenly appeared, as sold which I later found out sold within 2 hours of them being released and all of them went to people in the showroom at the time of release. When we opted for Avidon we stood on the lot and listened, I wanted to ensure the freeway wasn't noisy, nor Edna's Please to say I didn't notice the background noise.

Thank You so much for all that info. It was/will (be) very useful. I can’t even imagine what it will be like to move to another continent! My wife and I are stressed out enough to just moving cross country. Like you, I spend a lot of my time using TV app and on here, TOTV gathering info. My wife and I are divided on what kind of home we want. She is leaning to something Pre-Owned (North of 44) and I am attracted to the New Territory South of 44. I am leaning towards buying a pre build (“Spec Home”?) Woodside. We both agree on that. We like this floor plan for many reasons. I have a list of all (12) Woodsides on sale right now and watching them sell. I would love to find one that has the Bedroom 2, 3 & LIving Room Stretch. Also trying to decide on a second choice Floor plan, as a back up, but don’t have one at this time.
Wherever in TV we end up, we both would love to have a scenic view from our lenai, no “kissing neighbors. I know our chances are slim but for now, that is our hope. I use TV app every day checking for either new homes or lots. Nothing new in quite some time now. My wife keeps an eye out for pre-owned home, now and then. We both like the advantage of living north of 44 because of all of the amenities available and established there. While on our LSV last October, we had an excellent dinner at the Glenview CC and then a short ride to see a show at the Savanah Center (thanks to our VLS agent). We both play tennis and I got to play tennis on a Monday evening also at the Glenview CC with a great group of men. If we found the right home (location & floor plan) then I would be happy.
So, (hope I’m making sense?) I think in the end, when our California home is in escrow, we will fly down to TV and probably buy something that’s available. Wish we could do it differently but the wife does not want to commit ($$$) until our home here is sold.
I know what you mean about looking at the last pic of the spec homes and seeing the new, unseen homes. Just hoping the timing is good for us and we can find a Woodside in a nice area. With all I’ve said above about living north of 44 and I still very interested in making our home south of 44 and watching, over the years, it develop into another beautiful area of TV.
Please let me know if you hear or see anything about the new village of Chitty Chatty. I am thinking this would be a great area due to it’s proximity to north and the south.
Thanks again for your info and willingness to help. It’s Greatly Appricated!
Hope we can keep in touch.
Bill & Sabrina
