Water view lots can be beautiful but they are quite expensive compared to other lots. Also, some ponds in TV significantly shrink in size during the dry season, leaving a less than ideal view. Gators are not uncommon and have been know to snag the family dog or cat but this is rare. What you call "prairie view" is most likely land not owned by the developer. It can be a nice view for a while, but you could have an unpleasant surprise when the property is developed....just ask the folks that now overlook the very large, multi-story assisted living center on 466A. Amazingly, TV often charges more for these lots that overlook these undeveloped parcels even though it is the owner that is taking the risk.
