Stone Creek Del Webb Input

[Travel Addict]

We have rented in The Villages for 5 years and are now ready to buy a home in Florida. Have always loved TV, but we spent several days at Stone Creek on the visit program and my husband likes the quieter peaceful atmosphere. Hard to compare 4 days at Stone Creek to the lengthier time we have had here. If you have lived in Stone Creek previously, would love some input on your experience. Picking a community clearly comes to what's important to each couple, but any insight to your experience would be appreciated.

[rjm1cc]

I would try and rent first. Maybe start your search over and look at other communities in the area. I think you realize you are looking for a life style.

My house, my neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. If I want more, I just hop into the golf car and drive. I like the energy here, IF I choose, on my terms if I want quiet. Also, if need be, a house in The Villages does and will sell quicker and for more money than surrounding communities.
Just my 2 cents.

I think the OP has had enough time to evaluate whether The Villages is the place they want to live or not.



Some things are just a matter of personal choice.

[CFrance]

I like Door #1. Since you've already rented in TV five times, now you could rent from Stone Creek or Del Web and make a true comparison before buying You might find it too quiet, in which case go with Wiotte's idea, especially if your husband wants peace and you prefer activity.

I have not been to Stone Creek. I looked at the video - very nice. Location just outside of Ocala. Access to anything you need restaurants, shopping, tourism, major medical facilities etc. The outdoor and indoor pools look fabulous. It appears to have many rec center activities including billiards and exercise equipment. Pickle ball courts and a ball diamond. Nice championship golf course. Houses big and beautiful with large lots. Prices very reasonable. You may have a winner there - good luck. I'm going to swing through there and have a look when I'm up that way.

If you want a community a little less " busy" than The Villages take a look at HarborHills, very peaceful neighborhood but still very close to the hustle and bustle of the villages when you want that activity. The home sites are 1/2 acre or larger, especially on the resale homes. If you are into many daily activities and clubs and golf cart accessibility to everything you may need then TV would be a good choice.

[Arubagirl33]

Citrus Hills is very nice, too. It’s 45 minutes from TV. They have a preview program and you’ll get a lot of house and upgrades for your money.
Eco friendly & No Gas Golf carts. They’re all electric and used on the Courses. No golf cart tunnels or infrastructure.

[billethkid]

Once inside the cocoon of Stone Creek the ambiance is no quieter than in any village in The Villages.

The comparable scenario would be once leaving Stone Crest or one's village here what does one deal with.

Highway 441 or villages traffic.

We did a week at Dell Webb and a week in The Villages.....15 years ago.

Traffic wise one looks at local traffic within TV versus the seemingly always busy highway 441.

We chose TV lifestyle with it's many, MANY more options.....and there are many, MANY more options today.

Good luck in your decision making.....make sure it is a consensus between the two and not a compromise!!

[It’s..us]

We looked at other developments but in the end thought....why? We came down because of all the wonderful things in The Villages...why live outside of all those things. There are many, many quiet neighborhoods here especially near the outer borders and....you also get to be a Villager.

[rustyp]

Of interest would be the "feel"of the place. When I first came to TV it was less than 35K people. Had a small town feel. I'd see the same people everywhere. For the most part everyone was very congenial and well behaved. It now has a different feel. I go to town square and don't recognize the faces and overhear many conversations of being from outside TV. I also have observed a degree of rudeness and entitlement that I don't remember 10+ years ago. You were in TV long enough to know the feel that exists now. How was the "feel" in Stone Creek in your short stay there ?

[TNGary]

Have not been to stone creek, but as an fyi...have visited two del Webb locations outside of nashville, one in Mt. Juliet and the other in Spring Hills with Spring Hills being very new. In summary i was very impressed with both with all positive ratings in every category. Good luck and keep me posted as to how you finally decide!

It is easier to find a quieter lifestyle than it is to find an active and noisy lifestyle' he simply can stay in the house while you go out. Just compromise with him that you won't force him to go out too.

Just because two are married to each other should not mean that they are glued to each other. There are days when my husband does his thing and I do mine, and we meet for dinner to share our days with each other.

I agree and I think it is pretty much evident that TV is where she wants to stay.

Are we sure we want that many many more options to choose from? I have reached this point in my life where I am too tired to have to make complicated decisions or to have to choose from too many options.

There are many elderly men who retired from busy, complicated lives want to take it easy. The wives may have to look for their own activities instead of having to constantly to need their spouses to provide some excitement. Retirement is not a good time for either spouse to become needy.

Of interest what did you find in TV that you couldn't find at Stone Creek ? If so is it something that's very important ? I know after 10+ years some of the items I thought I would be doing have been dropped by the wayside. I simply lost interest after a steady diet. I moved here for the golf. I still play a lot of golf but it does not excite me the way it used to when I first moved here.

[spuds51]

I sent you a PM Addict

[rjm1cc]

If you mean the one close to Ocala consider the distance to shopping and doctors. I would go a few miles north on 200 and look at the different communities.

[Travel Addict]

We did the 4 night visit program in February. Great deal and worth to do sometime if you are interested. It is a beautiful facility. $100K less than TV for a more upgraded home, less property taxes, and no bond. Great amenities and a new less than 10 year old community. My husband loved Stone Creek. I also think it would be a great community, but I enjoy the Executive Golf Courses and Music on the Squares at TV which Del Web does not have. I change my mind daily and hourly between the two-- but hope to make a decision before we head home May 1. Posted this hoping to find someone who has experienced both to give me additional insight.

[Travel Addict]

Stone Creek only has 1 country club golf course. I enjoy the Executive Courses in TV. I also enjoy live music and believe I would frequent the squares. There is little opportunity for that there. Del Webb does have a beautiful peaceful community. No high crowds or traffic. Truly gated secure community. Lovely facilities - about 30 clubs not 2,000. Just sorting out what's most important to us. Appreciate everyone's thoughts.

Does Stone Creek have a shuttle to the airport? For some reason I fear living far away from convenient transportation to a major airport.

Many private cars will drive you to TV or stone creek for same amount of money

[John_W]

I always wonder when someone mentions some place near TV instead of TV. If you're looking outside the box, why limit yourself to Sumter, Lake or Marion County. In Stone Creek you won't be close enough to go to the squares, you won't be able to use the golf courses. You'll be shopping near your new place, going to Ocala to see a movie, playing golf on your new community's course.

If I didn't live in TV, I would look at Heritage Pines. It's in Pasco County, just below Spring Hill. It's 30 minutes to Clearwater and some of the prettiest beaches in America. 40 minutes to Tampa, with an Int'l Airport, pro football and hockey, and 50 minutes to St.Petersburg and many attractions and profession baseball.

[Steve9930]

Here's my two cents for what its worth. Came down to the Village Area in 2003 to look around. Looked at every community with in a 50 mile radius of Lady Lake. Liked the Villages but could not afford what I wanted. So I purchased a house in Stonecrest in 2004. Still here and have seen lots of changes. One thing to remember, is some day you will need to sell the property. Location, location, location, really does make a difference. Its one of the reasons my house is on the Golf Course. Now will my house appreciate in price as much as the Villages, NO. But it will sell and will appreciate, just not as much. When we first got here all the commotion in the Villages was very exciting, the squares, the festivals, etc, etc. Even all the clubs here in Stonecrest. We were involved in all kinds of things. When you live here year round its different then just coming down for 3 to 4 months. Now 14 years later. Both my wife and I gravitated back to living the way we did before we came here. NO more commotion, no more squares, etc, etc. We have looked at moving but here is what we always come back too, the logistics of the area is hard to beat. Doctors, restaurants, shopping, and everyday needs are either a short drive by car or golf cart. Walmart, Aldis, Lowes, several restaurants, gambling, and shopping are right outside my gate. All accessible by Golf Cart. Remember what may seem important to you today may be different 10 years down the road. I've been spoiled by the area. There is no other like it.

All of our villages are "...beautiful peaceful..." communities as well.
As I mentioned before traffic is relative. Dell Webb residents have no choice but to negotiate 441 every time one leaves the beautiful peaceful community (not intended as a negative...just a statement of observation).

No attempt to convert or convince....just clarify.

Good luck in your quest.

rustyp was not correcting your typo, if that is what it is, so much as Stone Creek and Stonecrest are over 30 miles apart. No driver is going to take you to Stone Creek five miles past Ocala for the price of Stonecrest. For the record, Del Webb Stone Creek is off Rt 200, not 441. It's about 5 miles SW of Dick's Sporting Goods in Ocala.

John - the house you showed the listing for $179K had a
SINKHOLE that was repaired.
Could be the reason for the low price?

[rustyp]

No apologies necessary - not a typo on your part. People here think we are talking about Stonecrest which is just outside The Villages on 441. We are really talking about a community called Stone Creek which is a Dell Web community outside of Ocala.

It's good that you caught that in the listing, I just glanced at it. I was looking at that sub-division about a year ago and there were many listings around $150K most were below $200K. The prices seemed to have gone up in the last year, but still for about $190K to $250K there are a lot of choices. It is a real gated community, we couldn't get in without a Realtor taking us in, even Stonecrest isn't that secure.

The town of Spring Hill, which Heritage Pines is right on the border of is in the sink hole area just like we are. My parents retired about a mile from there in their sister community of Timber Pines. That community is a little larger with 3 golf courses but is a little older since it was built in the 80's and 90's. After that was completed around 2000, the developer then built Heritage Pines. I was down there about a year ago and it's looks newer and fresher than Timber Pines. Both are golf cart communities and there is tremendous shopping nearby as well as being close to Tampa/St. Pete. Here is Zillow for all the homes for sale there.

I just looked at resales in Dell Webb Ocala. Many pre-owned sales after several years showed that the owners were lucky to sell their homes for what they had purchased them for even before realtor commission. Many were sold for less than the original sale price. I used Zillow for my research. I would suggest that you look at Zillow and compare them to resales in The Villages.

The Villages appreciation is very strong. My cousin purchased in 2015 and sold it 12 months later for 50K more than what he paid for it and did not spend any money on improvements over that time. He had the perfect location and home. Your thinking why did he sell? Met a lady what else can I say.

There's been a lot of confusion between Del Web Stone Creek, which is what the OP was inquiring about, and Stonecrest which we know is on 441 just north of TV. Now your post brings in a third community, Del Webb Ocala and you mention Zillow as your source. I just did a search on Zillow and requested Del Webb Ocala and was given the info for Del Webb Spruce Creek, which we all know is just north of Stonecrest between 441 and 25 just outside Belleview, and is not the community being discussed. Another poster made this same mistake earlier and begin referencing traffic on US 441 outside of Spruce Creek. Take Spruce Creek and Stonecrest out of the equation, and use Del Webb Stone Creek as your point of reference.

Also I believe Spruce Creek is resales only. Del Webb Stone Creek has resales and new homes sales and it's resales are selling quite well and the OP was wanting info about the lifestyle and amenties available in Stone Creek. The community is located off SW Hwy 200 about 6 miles west of I-75 first Ocala exit. Here is Zillow for Del Webb Stone Creek.

So you have never used a Uber from the airport. Here’s how it works you put app on your phone, you pick the car, you know cost ahead of time, no matter where you want to go there is a car service for that. I didn’t say what the cost was poster was worried about not getting transportation to home if they didn’t live in the Villages. So no matter what community you are looking at there is a way to get there. As I stated private car will take you anywhere you want to go. We use only private transportation for anywhere from the airport, we used to be a fan of Villages transportation, but stopped using them awhile back.

Below is a link to my Zillow search which shows only resales. There are very few that sold for more than the original purchase price. Sold homes are in yellow. Look at sold price then go down to Price / Tax History.

There are many variables in choosing a retirement community. If you are a young retiree (arbitrarily 60 or less), healthy and active your choices are practically limitless. I was 58 years old when I took early retirement offered by my employer. We all have a story. Some more interesting that others. I won’t bore you but suffice it to say we didn’t end up in The Villages by accident. We lived in two other retirement communities prior to moving to The Villages in March 2006. The last twelve years have been better than we could have imagined. We still own two homes. I know it’s not for everyone but works for us.

I have only read about Stone Creek. However, I believe the community is similar to our first two retirement communities. IMHO there is no place like The Villages. We have it all, and most everything is golf cart assessable. Of course, no place is perfect and neither is The Villages. The areas medical facilities and medical personnel are severly overwhelmed. Area leaders are aware and I’m confident they are working diligently to improve the situation as noted in the recent announcement of the building of a large new medical speciality clinic near Brownwood in The Villages.

[Wiotte]

I don’t believe in variables when it comes to where I live, only one constant is important to me, appreciation. It was important to me when I was 25 and it hasn’t changed. Stretch, to afford the best house you can afford in the best neighborhood you can find is a recipe for financial success. If I hadn’t followed that rule during my working years I wouldn’t be living here today. Constants don’t change, for good reasons.

There is another rule that we always followed--Buy low in a high neighborhood. Kind of hard to do in TV because the houses are grouped together by kind. But we bought the basic designer, made the usual improvements, and sold quickly for a boatload more than we paid for it.

It's important not to price yourself out of the market. Two houses in our neighborhood are stretched to the limit with extra space, add-ons and improvements. The asking prices for both were too high for the neighborhood. I think they were trying to recoup the cost of their improvements. It took a very long time for them to sell, and many price reductions.

[Greg Nelson]

We just purchased in Forsyth Villages a 3/2 with water/golf view and over 100' of frontage. Convenience and quiet too! I did stop at Del Web on 441 to look around. I spoke with a couple men that told me about their indoor swimming pool and no bond. I then asked how far to a CVS or bank, or Publix..etc. They told me they have a choice..north or south..5 miles!!.

This has been a very interesting and informative post. Thanks op for posting and to those who replied. As a follow up to the post regarding number of Webb homes for sale and sold, I have a question please.
Can anyone advise with credible data the number of homes currently for sale in The Villages including those listed by Mls realtor and those being sold by the The Villages real estate sales group? Also how does the current Total Number Compare To Past Years such as 2017 and 2016? Thank You

If you look at realtor.com it shows 755 homes for resale sale....in The Villages.....

The VLS however, has changed their website so no numbers can be determined. Used to be different but they have mad quite a few changes....I did like the old way, you could put in the model you liked and see whats available, but no more....that I can see. But, if you look at the map on their site, there are a lot of circles...I would bet in the 1000's.....

So you have lots of choices......

We just used private to Ocala for 80. To the Villages $80, from Disney to Villages $80. Tampa however is $90. Use them on a regular basis. Always use an xl. The $66 dollar car is too tiny for our comfort to be on a freeway. As a side note Chicago to Detroit, $402.

Uber? Uber? Uber? Where did I heard that word?

So you have never used a Uber from the airport. Here’s how it works you put app on your phone, you pick the car, you know cost ahead of time, no matter where you want to go there is a car service for that. I didn’t say what the cost was poster was worried about not getting transportation to home if they didn’t live in the Villages. So no matter what community you are looking at there is a way to get there. As I stated private car will take you anywhere you want to go. We use only private transportation for anywhere from the airport, we used to be a fan of Villages transportation, but stopped using them awhile back.

One would only use an Uber from major airport, or city. You will find few and far between in TV, and not cost effective. Uber and Lyft drivers use their own private car. Disney’s service is not private car, but owned by Disney, Minnie transportation. Guys here in TV use their own private car. I travel for a living, not an occasional user.

This has been a very interesting and informative post. Thanks op for posting and to those who replied. As a follow up to the post regarding number of Webb homes for sale and sold, I have a question please.
Can anyone advise with credible data the number of homes currently for sale in The Villages including those listed by Mls realtor and those being sold by the The Villages real estate sales group? Also how does the current Total Number Compare To Past Years such as 2017 and 2016? Thank You

Lyle a MLS agent post numbers by month, and for the year. He also gives you numbers on style of house, which area, how long on market, and sold price.

Appreciate all your comments. We have purchased a home in TV. Close on April 13th! Very excited to have more than the few winter months we had the opportunity to visit in the past. Look forward to exploring being a full time resident

Great choice ! TV feels alive with great energy, the other communities ? Well, quiet is a kind word.
