Hello,

We are moving to Fenney the end of May. Noticed on the Fenney Friends web site that the Wildwood police chief visited Fenney to address secuity concerns.

Could anyone provide any details?

Thanks,

I have read many times when the local police are invited to speak at gatherings and clubs here in The Villages. We are planning to invite one in a group I belong to. Usually the talk is on how to make your home and neighborhood safer, how to watch out for possible threats and what to do if you aren't sure.

This Forum or the online news usually hears of any break ins or arrests. The high season in Florida is usually the time we see some increased activity of bad guys coming south for the weather.

If there is something bad happening in Fenney, I am pretty sure Vintagegauge would be aware and tell us on this Forum.

Okay, good to know. So just a courtesy visit?

It was an informational meeting for the residents down here. If you already own your home or lot you can join Fenney and Friends to get a summary. Mostly talked about if trespassers are suspected who to call, how the security process works within The Villages system and when and when not to use 911 for police.

You will find that there are a lot of people that are jealous of Fenney and post negative replies. You won't find that from anyone who actually lives here.

I can understand why. Twice we have eaten at the Fenney Grill and enjoyed sitting on the screened in porch and looking at the family pool and the surrounding area with the group of big live oaks, it is like a picture from a magazine.

We have driven around Fenny and remember how much fun it was for us, twice, to live in a new area here, and to make new friends and share the new adventure together.

Excellent choice, Vintageogauge!

Thanks, joined Fenney and Friends today.

I dont see that anyone is jealous about Fenney? Whats to be jealous aboit. There are many people who have valid criticisms...no shopping yet, no town square, and lving in a construction area for years to come.

What I find more is that people defend their pirchase there. Some may not want to admit they made a mistake

Really?

Jealousy breeds contempt and criticism, there is no other reason to criticize something that you are not part of. Of course there is no shopping south of 44 however groundwork has begun on the first plaza and it's 5 miles to Publix on Kristine Way, Paddock Square was built where it is knowing that south of 44 was in the future plans of the developers, it is only 2 stoplights away via 301, less than a 10 minute drive until golf cart access is complete, that is close enough for most of us, all new villages early residents lived in a construction zones, the Village of Fenney is nearly completed and most of the construction is in DeSoto now. People defend their purchases here as a reaction to the bashing and criticism that has been going on for over a year now. I have been here a year and have never met anyone that regrets their purchase. This is an energetic, fun filled and relaxing community that people are moving to in large numbers. What other Village has a rec. center with a poolside bar and grill,fire pit, and a nature trail. When we moved here there were less than 30 units sold and now if you look at the Sales Office map of available units, it's hard to believe how many have been sold. Even in DeSoto that just got started there are dozens of homes and lots already sold and dozens more with holds on them. The growth is unbelievable and the commercial development will follow.

Excellent post Vintageogauge.

Excellent post Vintageogauge.

I agree. Its a shame he has to continually make this post. The bashers need to find another hobby!

Thank you both, it is getting quite tiresome reading the same bashing over and over again but it's worth it to be able to live down here.

Fenney is different but I am sure has great appeal to a lot of people. It is more outdoorsy and quiet. The nature trails are very nice, better than having to walk on the golf cart paths. I do not live there but think it is a nice change of pace and will be enjoyed by many.

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. All parts of The Villages have their own uniqueness and should be celebrated! I still love the historic side, with the golf cart bridge and late night swimming!! And I live in Lynnhaven...

Why are valid criticiams considered bashing here? My best friend of over 50 years just bought there. I have no problem with Fenney. You want to live there, go ahead...but dont complain about the quarry blastings too.

Interstingly, when my friend was done with his financings, he met me at cityfire for a drink. Guy next to him saw his paperwork and asked him where he bought. My friend replied Fenny and the gentlemen said he looked at Fenney but there was nthing down there saw he boight a resale.

Valid concern on his part...its not bashing...its simply the truth.

No it is an opinion. Fenney is not for everyone but for some it will be just what they are looking for and they will be very happy there.

I can't find any patio villas for sale in finney. I know they are selling. I just can't find one to look over the floor plans and the price.

[billethkid]

The evolution of Fenney is no different than any of the new area prior to them with one exception.
Fenney, temporary, initial disconnection from the rest of TV.

In that regard they are unique as the rest of TV was more like a rolling, expanding, evolving continuum. As for lack of shopping/etc we have all been through that as well....it will come.

Not sure why TV developers chose to do the development of Fenney before other points north. In less than 5 years it will all be a moot discussion. The topic then will be the next expansion of TV!!

There are very few patio villas available as they sell just about as fast as they build them down here, there are however court yard villas available. They will soon be releasing patios in DeSoto but I hear a lot of them are already on hold.
