Diminishing size of recreational centers??

[linandvin]

We have visited TV four times now and notice the Recreation Centers seems to be getting smaller as you head south. We seem to remember large centers with many rooms for clubs and activities which were very well appointed. Do the villages get smaller in size as they are being built and thereby use smaller centers for smaller neighborhoods? We were very impressed in November with the craft fair! Thanks to the strangers that let us taste their flatbed pastries off the truck! It really IS a friendly community!

[Bill-n-Brillo]

linandvin - There are actually 3 different types of rec centers. I used to think there were only 2 - the Neighborhood Centers and the Regional Centers. There are actually 3! Maybe you're seeing some of what are termed Village Centers and thinking they are Regional Centers.

Check this link out - it might help clear it up! Hope it helps - - -

OK OK you caught us ,,rumor has it that most of the people on the south side are under 5 ft 3" ....and in their kitchens there's only enough room for flat bread , (nothing puffed up ).....
I was told if you want more info to contact DANNY DEVITO who is looking for a house on 466a ......
Of course this could be just another rumor .....

Fumar, that was VERY funny!!:jester: and thank you B/B...now we understand the difference(s). I thought maybe the density of the village determined size, but that wouldn't make sense. Which I sometimes don't anyway! It was an interesting visit and we see more and more positives about TV each time.

Dear Mr. Fumar, Sir:

While I think you might be on to something with that flat bread thing, I must respectfully disagree with you on that other part about how kitchens are measured.

In fact, this very topic came up, at our house, just this afternoon, when Boomette, my daughter, and my granddaughter Boomvette were here to help get things ready for tomorrow.

Kitchens are not measured by the height of the people using them. Kitchens are measured by the number of butts that can fit into the kitchen at the same time.

For instance, my kitchen is a 3-butt kitchen.

Please keep in mind that this method of kitchen measurement has very little to do with the size of the butts. The other two butts that were in the kitchen with me are still under control, but my own butt (sigh) well......it ain't what it used to be. But I digress.....

Anyway, what I mean is that in my kitchen 3 people can work together and have individual counter space to use and can also move around without bumping into each other while carrying big knives.

In a pinch, it might be possible to make room for a 4th butt in my kitchen, but that would be kind of like calling 2 bedrooms and a den 3 bedrooms.

Just wanted to let you know.

Northside villages also have neighborhood pools at the mail drops.

[Bryan]

Pturner, maybe "most" northside have that but certainly not "all". Alhambra does not have a pool nor a village rec center (or any rec center, for that matter).

[Russ_Boston]

I think even the rec center pools (re: family) south of 466 are quite large. I know that mine has a kitchen area designed to service two function rooms, a room with 6 billiard tables, a large entry way and of course the standard outside area (pool, pickleball courts, tennis courts, bocce etc.). Big enough for me! I think they have standardized most of the plans below 466.

Of course the regional centers like Colony and Seabreeze are much larger.

I'm glad you posted this Bryan, we're renting in Alhambra at the present time and have wondered where the pool and the Rec. center were. Now we can quit wondering and looking. Thanks

Thanks for the laugh. :BigApplause:

[ladylake1]

Santiago has a pool and a small rec center which serves Santiage, Santo Domingo, and Alhambra I believe.

[VillagerRick]

The Villages is and always has been a work-in-progress. Many of the things that are standard it the newer areas were not considered in the mid to late 90s or before (all the way back to the 60s). Just as the multi modal paths have evolved so have the Recreation Centers and the swimming areas. It will be interesting to see what new standards will be included when they build south of 466A.

:a20: Too funny! I have a "one butt" kitchen!

Why would you be so hung up on size of Rec Center?? We have so many now, and most of the time, they are not continuously being utilized. Believe me, there are plenty of Rec centers for each village to have when needed. No where else in country that has as many. Just enjoy your life here, and forget size of Rec centers.
