In Michigan our 7 Costco’s have a Sam’s and, Sometimes the Walmart is in the same complex as Sam’s, Costco at the other end. Parking is a crap shoot anywhere near Costco, Sam’s is not nearly as busy, but Walmart parking is few and far between. Weekends wait for parking and gas can be 20 minute wait, at Costco.
My guess is about 30-40% of TV residents were Costco shoppers in their prior life, most dedicated to driving 30-60 minutes from TV. Add the residents who have Sam’s or BJs only, who are curious to try their one day shop, and 700 parking spaces will be tight. Clermont Costco on a Wednesday @ 1pm is a zoo, with only parking far far away. As for traffic it’s a 4 lane which for us was the norm to any Costco for us, and usually in a retail plaza with homes surrounding the area.
As far as home value, did that change when, any commercial area started building at Any Village? Because before anyone bought a house you knew that property was Commercial. Wise saying in TV “Never buy a house next to a farm or empty property”
Topic since 2007 on TOTV “where to live” because you need medical facilities, groceries and shopping within minutes from doorstep. Driving more than 15 minutes is ridiculous . Never buy south of 44 because retail (golf) isn’t going to be built for 10 years.
I hoped Costco would be out of the Bubble, not so convenient to jump in the cart to grab a frozen mocha, and a chicken for dinner. At least with WAWAs it curbs my visits because I have to drive there for my Christmas Cookie smoothie.
