We Did It!

[oldnewt]

We found our retirement home. We close on a CYV on Littlestone Terrace in Cottonwood Villas in Tamarind Grove on April 20th. Really excited about moving down this summer. We are looking forward to meeting our new neighbors and start living the good life. :highfive:

Happiness to you oldnewt and your bride! You are gonna find out just what happy is!

I think you made a very wise decision and here is my wish for lovely days for another hundred years.

I guess they'll be calling you the New-newts now.

We're coming down April 18th for a week long LSV and we most likely will buy a CYV. I look everyday at the available spec homes that are under construction.

Did you find your home from the website or did your agent show you the home? It sounds as if your home was fairly close to completion if not already finished. I know the villas are different than the designer homes, but if the villa is not completed do they allow the buyer any input as to cabinets, carpet choices, appliance color?

[K9-Lovers]

Congratulations. You will love your CYV. We do! Welcome with open arms:welcome:

[obxgal]

Congratulation oldnewt on the purchase of your home. Your going to love it down here.

John, the CYV come as is to my knowledge. I told my sale person .. no white cabinets or appliances, no loop carpet. Ended up finding us a Bonita with cherry cabinets, bisque applicances and pile carpeting. Just tell him what your looking for and I'm sure he/she won't have any problem finding you the perfect match.

oldnewt:

Congrats.

I am soooooooooo happy for you. Hope you enjoy many years in paradise.

[oldnewt]

Thank you all for the warm welcome.:thumbup:

John, the sales agent showed us several pre-owned and new Bonnita CYVs. As stated previously you cannot change anything in the new ones. The one we picked was almost complete. The refrigerator was not in and my wife asked if we could upgrade and was told no. That was not a show stopper for us just a future frig for beer in garage. :D Hope you find exactly what you are looking for.

Congratulations, oldnewt! In August we plan to begin building a cottage home near you in the cul-de-sac at the end of Ansley Path. I'll tell them not to stir up any dust :D

[marybb]

Congrats, I know you will love your new home

[Bosoxfan]

:welcome: to our little piece of paradise!! You're going to love it!!

[jadlos]

We close on our new cottage home in Tamarind Grove on June 27 and will move in the next day. We're originally from Maryland and have spent the last 20 years in Pinehurst, NC. In Feb. we decided that the next 20 should be spent in Florida. We're both avid golfers and we're excited about all the things The Villages has to offer. We're already packing after having sold our home in only 18 days!

[village_gal]

Congratulations, I look forward to hearing all about your move. Yes, I'm jealous as well, I want to live in TV.

[Tbugs]

Congrats on the new home. That is an area that is not too far from the proposed Brownwood square. Bit too close to Wildwood for me but being The Villages, it will be good.

[champion6]

Bit too close to Wildwood for me <snip>Oh, Tbugs... get off the soap box.

[oldnewt]

Thanks all for the welcome. We signed all the papers and dropped them in the mail friday. Official closing is the 20th. Our home is a CYV on lot 9 on Littlestone Terrace. Moving the wife and furry kids down the middle of May. I will be following on the 1st of July. Can't wait. Both love to play golf and looking forward to all the other available activities. Not worried about
Wildwood and think locationis great. :MOJE_whot:

we are buying in Tamarind Grove. am wondering why the concerns about it being too close to Wildwood? don't see anything sinister bordering the villages neighborhoods, is there something to be concerned about:confused:

[mcnabb24]

We are in a hotel with our dog and 2 cats about 2 hours north of TV. We are waiting for our closing today at 3:30. We bought a preowned home in Village de la Vista. It was the closing from hell but we are finally at the finish line.

We are so thrilled. We actually thought we would build a new home but it ended up being less costly buying a preowned with a pool.

Yeah. We are finally (almost) here. This will be a retirement/vacation home for us so we will be splitting our time between here and South Carolina. Two great places to live.

Billmar,

Personally, I don't think so. You can Google crime stats and Wildwood is pretty much on par with the surrounding areas.

There are a few posters here with mild to severe cases of Xenophobia...

... or a case of the "snob pox." I have read the stats, and bought in Tamarind Grove. Love it.

[John_W]

I'm coming from Baltimore which has 5 - 10 murders a week (that's no exaggeration) and I'm going to worry about Wildwood. I believe the entire Sumter County has about 7 murders per year and most of them are domestic. I'm sure many others have also come from major crime ridden cities, I think we'll all be alright.

Only how soon you can get here and start having the time of your life!

McNabb,
It's after 3:30 p.m., so by now you should be Villagers.

We came from Baton Rouge, where there is a murder and/or home invasion AT LEAST once a week. When I walk our dogs around Tamarind Grove all I see is pastures and beautiful old oaks. We feel much safer here.

[billmar]

Thanks for all your responses and positive thoughts. We feel the same way, I know TG is going to be a great place to live. :pepper2:
