What you said about Spanish Springs is valid but the area is beautiful & lush landscaping with mature trees & a laid-back vibe that the newer areas simply cannot compete with. Many of the homes have features which would be cost-prohibitive to add now, if you could. Being close to commerce, the hospital, doctors, LSL, many golf courses & country clubs as well as major thoroughfares is also hard to beat. In lots of ways, it’s still the heart of TV. The square at SS seems like an opportunity that’s waiting to be fulfilled to me.
Our place is in Poinciana, and when I travel up to Lopez or Hacienda, or SS I see exactly what you describe. It's much more to my liking than what I see when I cart it on down to Southern Oaks.
