When we came for our lifestyle preview in late 2017, all the sales focus was in Fenny. Those residential areas are beautiful, but even today it feels isolated to me. We didn’t want to be pioneers and and wanted new construction, which is why we ended up in our current location, less than 10 minutes from the current HS, but not inside the Villages proper.

Moving the HS is a continuation of the southern push which will undoubtedly draw families down that way. All the kids in my community go to the Villages schools, and most are involved in multiple activities where the parents schlep them back and forth. That 10 minute trip to pickup/drop off will turn into at least a 30 minute trip one way down 301 when the new HS opens.
Duly noted for future reference.....
