Walking paths in TV?

[Rokinronda]

Hi everyone, Does anyone know of any quiet (no golf carts?) walking paths in TV ? :dontknow: Thanks!!! Rhonda

[beady]

Only one that I know of.

Starts at the Sheriff 's office in Mulberry and winds down past Legacy and Erin Glenn glf courses and ends in Springdale.

I have a nice route I walk in Sumter Landing. Start at the town square and walk along the wooden boardwalk on the lake as far as you can, then go thru the Colony Cottages area, then thread up the street to SweetBay, then cross the street and go up a cart path a short distance (I almost never see a cart there), then you turn right and there is a nice system of walking trails behind the Barnes and Noble store. I walk past Barnes and Noble over to the boardwalk on the lake which takes me back to where I started. It takes about 1/2 hour or 40 minutes depending on my pace.

Lil Dancer: That sounds exactly like the neighborhood I want to live in. What are those "Colony Cottages" ?

Coney,

She's speaking of the cottages adjacent to Lake Sumter that are owned by the developer and are presently used for the lifestyle preview program. They are lovely homes in a great location....a recent thread indicated that if/when these go up for sale, prices may be close to a million bucks (while that seems kinda high, no doubt they will be on the top price tier).

[ConeyIsBabe]

Villages07..... THANK YOU for the explanation of the cottages; I do have expensive tastes LOL. When I'm ready to rent a house for my first year, it will be in that area cuz I would love to do Lil Dancer's walk-route every day!

[sunnysue]

I agree CIB...sounds like a beautiful walk. When are you planning on making the move?

sunnysue: DUNNO ! I'm still in research-mode. Then I have to market my property. Then when/if it sells I will make the 3,000 mile trek to Florida. Then I'll rent a 3/2 in TV, with hardwood floors, within a short walk to Sumpter Landing ;D ;D That's the PLAN !

[sunnysue]

Coney,
That sounds like a wonderful plan. Have you been there yet for the preview? I'm going in May so hopefully, I will get a better idea of what village I would like.

I wonder how long beady's path is described above

I can't afford the million dollar cottages unless someone adopts me/us. LOL
though I know I can walk them too.

I wish TV did have more walker friendly areas and/or parks since I'm not a golfer

[lindaz]

The cottages rent for about $100 a night. We stayed for 4 nights in the Lifestyle Preview and it was the "best." The cottages are beautiful and you can stroll right down to the town square. Can HIGHLY recommend a stay in the cottages.

Hi lindaz,
Do you know the difference between a member and a contributor? I registered so i don't know what else you have to do to be considered a member.

[villages07]

Sunny,

Newbies often ask that question...it is a label assigned by the system based on the number of posts you have made...nothing more, nothing less. "members" get no more privileges than 'contributors'....and frequent posters like KathieI and Tal just get harassed ;D

Welcome to TOTV, it's lots of fun and educational, too. :welcome:

[JohnN]

sunnysue, or... slip me a $20 spot and I'll trade names with you and you can have my label
LOLOL

[The Great Fumar]

WOW thank heavens VILLAGES07 addressed that question !!!!

Up to now I thought it was an AGE thing.............

slipping fumar :dontknow: ??? :redface: :redface: ::)

[KathieI]

Sunny, 07 is correct, the more time you spend on TOTV, the more you get harassed... However, I'm not a top poster like Tal, only hold the title of "Most time on Line" but, I believe, its because of the time difference.

Welcome to TV, hope to see you in May.

Kathie

P.S. Fumar, pssst, you are getting old!!!

[Mintjulep]

Sunnysue,
After 50 posts, you'll be labeled a member instead of a contributor.
Mine just changed tonight.

V7, I'm amazed you made that statement. When I hit 500 posts I got a personal letter from Jan with a gift certificate for $500. Perhaps yours hasn't come yet. ;)

Bump

Only 50 more bumps to go!

Wouldn't it be nice if a walking path extended from the new hotel west along the lake front and some of that open land (especially around the trees) became a resting/sitting/schmoozing area for folks to sit a spell and then walk back to where ever they started out from?

[nONIE]

I think we definitely could use a couple tree lined peaceful walking paths in TV. The one or two areas we have in TV that are suitable for walking do not fit into this description.

There are so many people that love to walk and love the peace and serenity while walking without golf carts whizzing by and powerlines overhead. I think a beautiful walking path would get a tremendous amount of use by very appreciative walkers.

:bigthumbsup: Nonie! :agree:

Not sure if there is a "write-in" section on the Satisfaction Survey. If there is, hopefully everyone will take the opportunity to suggest TV would benefit from a couple of walking paths, and (unrelated) a couple of fenced dog parks. ;)

[Rokinronda]

Missing walking trails, so I painted us one.........fenced doggy parks , great one!! :agree:

[nONIE]

Thanks Ronda, Its really beautiful! Wish I could just step into your picture for awhile!

[marianne237]

How can we get the Developer to listen to us?

Marianne: As I suggested in my previous post, why not mention on the current Satisfaction Survey being done by the Developer, that walking paths are needed in TV?
