There is a gas station, a pizza restaurant, and my bank there as well as a number of other retail stores I never use. Like someone else mentioned, the options are only gonna grow over the years as Eastport comes online. One of the nice things that may happen is that traffic might always be lighter over by us given that there is currently no reason to come our way other than as a route to get onto the turnpike. I'm very new here (10 days) and that is speculation. But retail shopping is night and day compared to up by 466. I find myself driving up there (30 minutes) as I get things for my home. Haven't started golfing yet but it does seem like many courses will be 30-60 minute cart rides for me.
There was too much driving for me from Fenny, and not much happening in terms of driveway parties. I love living in Duval, which is six minutes to lots of shopping and 10 minutes to even more shopping consider the heart of The Villages here in the central part.
