Here is a satellite map of how the land looked before 2017, the red line is TV boundary.

That all changed in 2017 when they started excavation there was a dust storm for six months in our area and those homes now have backyard views of the back of Lowes, Publix and soon to be built Apartments. That's Trailwinds Village, a commercial park. TV offered to buy the land but the City of Wildwood wouldn't approve the purchase, they didn't want another 2,000 new homes. Honestly I glad they didn't, the golf courses in our area would of been saturated and 466A would of been unbearable. I appreciate those new stores. The lesson learned is, vacant land in Florida unless it's protected will be built on someday.

Here is how it looks now. I didn't mention Beaumont Properties, they are due west of Trailwinds have been building townhomes, Apartments and single family homes for past year. Those are directly south of Tamarind Grove Run on the west end.

And all of those new homes and apartments will add to the congestion in the area, fill the squares, and many will join the championship courses. We looked at a re-sale home on the golf course across from the Beaumont property before we bought south of 44, the homeowner thought we would be excited to know that stores were coming so near to his house, we were not excited and chose not to buy it although it was a beautiful home.
