Isn't that the same problem, only in reverse now?

Just what I was thinking, just the reverse of what you are saying now. There are 99 homes in Bison Valley. The Villages runs the HOA in Bison Valley. But now that the majority of the lots are sold we are in the position to vote them out and vote our own in. Seems everyone thnks we have full access to TV amenities. We have no access what so ever except the Cart Path entrance off of Woodridge. Other than that nothing what so ever. The only ones from Bison Valley that have access to the pools would be those that have family members that are Village Residents. We even have Village residents that sold their homes and bought in Bison Valley to escape the bonds and all the politcal mombo jumbo that you read on here, and in the process gave up all the access they had to TV pools, clubs, golf and all that.


Somewhere along the line as gossip or rumors go, someone threw a line of incorrect info and the rest bit it hook, sinker and all. We are owned by The Villages and even must get approval from the ARC to make changes to the property site, just as if we were Village Residnets ourselves. The only problem would be that we have to do all of that, but the Village decompliance does not patrol our area. Kinda wierd how it works..

Now alot of people have tried to buy into Bison Valley, but for the most part everyone I know that lives in there either work for The Villages in some way or part or have family members who are Village Residents. There are some rental homes in there. There are members of TV sales staff that live in there, and maybe they have special access to Villages recreational spots I dont know. BUt for the most part the rest of us dont.


that would sum it up for BISON VALLEY. such a little place that caused so much headache. Hard to believe.... As I said there are more people that park at the squares and rent golf carts and use the cart paths more then we ever do. Dont here much about that. Had some folks this weekend riding in there on rental golf carts checking all the areas out. They were from Oregon. but they just rented the cart from Lake Sumter Landing and had full access to all cart paths. Now do they have a special charge on the rental for the cart paths??????????
