Thank you everyone for the feedback!

Hi Altavia - I won't be able to visit until my wife can walk a bit more to travel so appreciate all your feedback to help me on this remote decision. I may have to wait based on the feedback so far. Yeah I really want to go there in person to check it out.

Thanks Splashes!

Hi AsianThree - my wife does use a wheelchair in the home at times too when she gets tired. She can only walk a short distance now so use the wheelchair often. I have not tried the wheelchair or rollator in the model home yet. I did a walk through of the model of the KingBird home, but it was stretched by 2 feet in the back so most likely will do that too. I was planning on getting a tub in the main bathroom since my wife can not use the shower yet. Thanks for pointing this out since I will review the floor plans for wheelchair access in the house.

Hi Shut the front door - much appreciated.

Hi Dond1959 - So you think we would hear the turnpike noise even from Corbin Trail area at Edenfield and LaGrande? I didn't realize the turnpike will be expanding from 4 to 8 lanes. My first house was 1/4 mile from a 4 lane highway, and will never buy a house this close to a highway due to the low frequency noise of trucks. I might pass on buying in this area and focus more on used homes south of CR466a. I like the Pinnella area. I wasn't aware of a cement plant or the sewage plant. I did see the prison and powerlines, and power station from an aerial drone which to me seem to be an eye sore along Marsh Bend Trail.

Hi Normal - Thanks for adding the map. I saw the prison across the Marsh Bend Trail from an aerial drone video. I was looking at Oak Hollow until I saw all the prison, powerlines and power station across from the homesites in the drone video.

While watching videos on The Villages, I just learned The Villages Healthcare facilities only accepts United Healthcare Medicare Advantage plan if you are using Medicare and does not accept Medicare with a Supplemental plan. I read from The Villages website that Tampa General Hospital and Orlando Regional hospital will take the United Healthcare Medicare Advantage plan as in-network. Interesting. Learn more everyday.

Thank you everyone!
