Why would you want to move to the north where the houses are old, outdated, no natural gas, horrendous traffic, just to move to shopping? How often are you going to Best Buy or target? Once every 6 months? 441 has been a terrible area to drive thru for years now.
I know people that have moved to an established area and were treated like outcasts because of existing clicks that have been established. They moved to a brand new area where everybody else was looking for friends and had no existing groups.
Where we live, we have around 50-60 pickleball courts in a couple mile radius, where we play 95% of the time. We belong to many different pb groups, card groups, and other sport groups down south of 44. Now with Bexley bridge open and golf cart paths open to go to any of the southern golf courses in a few minutes, along with TV building 5 or 6 more golf courses down there, the need to go up north is waning

I bought new in an established Village. For me, I love that the amenities were built first, houses after. The landscape north of 44 with the established golf courses is absolutely beautiful. Easy access ability by golf cart was also important to me. And all the pools found between 466 and 44. Regarding people, cliques form wherever you go. I found if you want to join a golf group, you’re very welcome if they have spots and they usually do. It’s not all about the shopping. But it sure is nice to have access a grocery store close by for a quick stop. Come down and you will get the feel of the entire area. Your gut will let you know what’s best for you. And you will love it here regardless.
