Fascinating to re-read this thread after we (Mrs. 45 and I) impulsively just purchased a new house south of Sawgrass in Lake Denham, after living in Polo Ridge for the past 2 years. An upgrade of old for new, for sure-a cash-in of appreciation for sure-a sunset/golf view that can't be beat. FYI I'm told that there is a section of patio villas off of Meggison that TV will now be using for 'LS' visits-yes-patio villas-most well appointed. Thought is that no one stays in their house during an LS, so the smaller PV works fine-Makes some sense-and as for the location of the LS? I think what is missing in this post is any discussion about Eastport (opening in July?) , and the 3 new championship golf courses to be opened in the new developments between Sawgrass and Middleton, over the turnpike. This will be the 'mega' square of all squares in a few years and people will be clamoring to buy the house I just purchased down there for millions more than I paid for it. Or at least, that's the plan. Seriously though-My wife and I LOVE this north of 466 area-it's beautiful, serene, mature and restful. I will now be relegated to watching pitch and putters from my lanai, rather than bogey golfers on a par 5-I'll be watching 3 foot high magnolia's grow painfully slowly instead of marveling at twisted oaks that seem to go on and on, and podocarpus galore making their way upwards, barely looking like real bushes for a few years. But there's a unique excitement to being a trailblazer in a new community. We couldn't pass that up. I look forward to the day when I begin to say that 'this place is not like it used to be'-but for NOW-I find myself still amazed at the possibilities of what it is still becoming, and indeed might become.
