The Village of Fenney is the most populous of all villages north or south.

Homeowners south of 44 were promised a shopping plaza (Magnolia) with a pharmacy, grocery store, restaurants, and other essential services AND connectivity with The Villages north of 44. This was promised years ago and it hasn’t happened yet. We have a golf cart, but can only use it south of the turnpike.
Not having a grocery store means the stores close to us are out of stock more frequently .. and serviced us poorly when the pandemic started. Same with the pharmacy. No gasoline stations either. Hopefully this will change when Magnolia Plaza is constructed.
It is peaceful here now, with several nature trails and nice recreation centers and golf. We drive to the busy areas to the north. We do have the Fenney Grill and Edna’s, two nice gathering places. We have to gather loosely right now though.
As TV expands, we will become near the center geographically.
