This is a very old thread but I decided to research the train noise that Gracie is always referring to in the Calumet Grove area.......which I never heard at all during one whole month. My husband said he heard it faintly once at a distance. Not a problem.

My question: What is the "village" that is NOT part of THE VILLAGES at all, yet we thought we were looking at homes in THE VILLAGES until the salesman advised us that it was NOT.

It had one nice recreation center, one pool.....etc. and I think a golf course.

The homes we looked at were on a LAKE with a waterspout feature out in the lake and a small boardwalk or dock with a tiny sandy area on the lake.......

When we exited this development, and made a LEFT........we passed a HOSPITAL that had a totally EMPTY parking lot.....and then we crossed over some railroad tracks, turned around and went back the same we we came in.....and were back in THE VILLAGES.

What is the name of that development on the lake? THANKS IN ADVANCE. We just cannot recall the name of it.........but do remember the homes and the GAZEBO on the lake, etc.

The street that it was "off of"......was kind of rural......leading to those railroad tracks right after he hospital I think.......small hospital.
