I think the sound of rolling hills sounds wonderful to me! About that grass...Yes, my dogs would miss it and so would I. Does that also mean that the lots would be smaller OR can we put in more grass if we choose? Hummmmm. :dontknow:
Now - I don't want any of you to laugh but...The fear I have is, we would move to Hadley and all the clubs I want to be a part of will be over by Spanish Springs or up around Summerhill etc. And I will be like a few on this board who said that they had to drive quite a ways to get to parts of TV. I would spend most of my time driving everywhere. Pretty soon I will drop the classes I love because of all the driving.... I TOLD YOU NOT TO LAUGH...IT'S NOT FUNNY :joke: :joke: Anyway...my husband said that if there was nothing to worry about, I'd find something!! |
Don't worry too much about "everything you want to do" being in Spanish Springs or the North side. We live in Duval, just west of Hadley area if I have the location right. We are off South Odell near Buena Vista, and love it. I have several groups that meet in Mulberry Square and that is 9.65 miles from my front door. at CR 42. After living in Memphis and Minnesota and driving 15 or 20 miles to get to stores I like, (and fighting the massive traffic) the distance is not really a factor unless you are one of those souped up Golf Cart drivers who are always in such a great big hurry they have lost their courtesy. It takes one a few more minutes to get anywhere, and when I go by cart it is a nice relaxing drive through beautiful scenery and landscaping.
Living near Wildwood is a non issue. We live 3 miles from Wildwood and pass through to get to the turnpike to go south and I75 to go North. I shop some in Wildwood and have not had any issues with anyone and have met some really nice people. Only Issue might be traffic on 466a, But through the Villages area is all 4 lane in place of the 2 lanes it was before.
Publix is close by and the Wal-Mart in Fruitland Park/Leesburg is closer than the new one on 466. Of Course my Hubby (the ultimate Village Troll) does balk because he can't get there by Cart! (So he goes the extra mile to 466 :
. Really nice Library in Fruitland Park too)
If you are looking in the Hadley area, don't forget to check out Duvall. Lots of great folks live here! :bigthumbsup:
