We have a lot in Tamarind Grove and hope to begin construction in late July. It is on Barret Lane. I haven't seen anyone else mention Tamarind Grove as their future home. Will we have neighbors? Please let us know if there are any other Tamarind Grove TVers out there that are planning to build soon.

I've seen it mentioned many times here on TOTV. You can use the TOTV search feature above. But I'm sure you'll get some neighbors responding here as well.

Thanks for suggesting the search feature. I hadn't thought of that, but I have had much success with it. Looks like my fears are unfounded.

We will be really close. My poor $5.00 map is getting so much use. Whenever someone mentions what street/road they will be moving to, I get out the map and check out where they will be. It is so exciting. Have you decided what house you will be building? We can't wait to meet all of the nice people.

Hello, Iowa Hawkeye. What part of Iowa are you from? I grew up in Dubuque, and my dad still lives there, so I go back to Dubuque to visit him every couple of months. My youngest sister graduated from Iowa in the mid 1980's.
Congrats on your upcoming move to TV. I'm just a wannabee for now, but I will be in TV renting in July. Best of luck to you! :wave:

We will be so close, and hopefully getting to TV at the same time. We are working very hard to get our house ready to list in July when we come down to get our home in TV started.

We may end up being your neighbors as we are considering a lot on Grenadier Way (a couple streets south from Barret). Should be making our decision tomorrow. Earlier this week, we thought we were going to the new village of Sanibel, but now are looking at TG. We are scheduled to close on our house (here) on Thursday, and if all goes well will probably start building July or August.

Not to stir up anything at all but I have a question about the train nearby Tamarind Grove.
Has anyone heard the noise form the trains? I worry about how close they are to the houses and how much noise there is.
I only ask because when I visited this last weekend, one of the current residents pointed that out to me.

The tracks are one mile from the western-most point of Tamarind Grove. So for most residents of TG, they are more than a mile away. I doubt anyone will even notice the trains.

I've heard them even as far east as Canal. Obviously my house in Buttonwood is much closer than that so, yes, in Buttonwood you can hear them. But not so much that they become a problem (i.e. they don't wake you up at night or anything like that).
Tom Hannon
05-20-2011, 06:12 AM
I agree with Russ. We live a nine iron away from each other and yes, I can hear the freight trains but it is not louder than the noise crickets make. Some people find it relaxing. I find the sound of the pickel ball courts (live two blocks away from the rec center) more annoying.

Hell I live in Bonita Canal & Odell and I hear the trains when I'm in the Canal. No big deal at all. They aren't really that loud. Besides it's better then cars drag racing, kids screaming, cars crashing etc.Even the cops and fire trucks are quieter.I don't think they're really that much of a nuisance. You'' be to busy enjoying yourself to worry about a train.

I was looking at a CYV in Tamarind Grove and was scared off a little when I was told about the trains. I love the area; out of the way from it all but I don't want to be woken up at night either.
I lived near the L trains in Chicago and know how loud that can be.

05-20-2011, 07:45 AM
I played Tarpon Boil yesterday which skirts the western edge of the Villages in Buttonwood and Tamarind area. Heard two trains softly in the distance. I think the trains are louder at Churchill (Belvedere area).
Best suggestion is to come and hear for yourself. Get a good book and plant yourself out in that area and listen for the trains.
champion6
05-20-2011, 07:55 AM
I think the reality is that how loud the trains sound will depend on the weather - which way is the wind blowing and how high is the humidity.
I formerly lived 0.3 mile from an interstate, separated by the rest of the homes in my subdivision. Of course, the motorcycles and semis were the loudest vehicles. If we were downwind from the interstate and the humidity was high, they sounded like they were in our back yard! If were we upwind, they weren't even noticeable.
The same was true for a railroad track that was 0.6 mile away.
As everyone has said... ain't no big deal.

We left for our northern home in early May and there were many beautiful homes (probably at least 20+ more in Tamarind Grove. I know that Ansley Ter. has been in the home listings and from the map, it looks like you are not far from there. As we did our golf cart tours there were many homes in that area which had very few when we were there in Nov. IMO Tamarind Grove has one of the most beautiful village pool locations.- I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

We also live in Buttonwood on the edge, Harding Path. As I sit here in the Berkshires listening to the crickets, I must agree, the train was no louder.

I've been here a little less than a week (Odessa Circle). I've heard trains in the distance (but only when I'm outside), but not enough to be annoying. I suspect that after awhile you'd block out the sound anyway - sort of like the chimes on a clock that seem so loud at first and then you don't even notice them.

Hello Iowa Hawkeye ~ My husband and I just closed June 1st on our Southern Star CYV! We purchased it as a 2nd home to spend time during our northern California winters (cold & rainy). But then we got so excited about making a lifestyle change, that we decided to sell our home in CA and move permanently to TV! Hopefully, we will be arriving in September 2011. SO EXCITED!

My husband and I just closed last week on our courtyard villa in Tamarind Grove. We are very excited and plan to be there the end of June for a week or so to get moved in. You will have neighbors I am sure. When do you expect your home to be finished?
We will be down July 23 to begin the selection process. We hadn't planned to move until next year, but why wait? Don't want to miss all the fun! Right now we are in the process of listing our house. It seems as if we have so much to do to get it ready, but my husband reminded me that we're not as young as when we were when we move the last time. Looking forward to all of the fun times ahead. Hopefully, we'll be moving there mid October:smiley:

Hi neighbors. We will be closing on our Hammock Cottage on Ansley Path the 24th of this month. Its the Big Hammock cottage up by the pool. Have been watching and waiting for our update photos from the builder every Monday. Wow do they ever build fast!!!! We will probably be moving down around the end of August or maybe early Sept. It all depends on selling our home here on Long Island. Our close friends are closing Monday on a home down on Odessa. So yeah there are live bodies moving to Tamarind Grove. See ya soon.

Hello neighbor. Since you've got a 3 week head start you'll have to post an update as to the community in a couple of weeks, especially since we bought our villa sight unseen. We saw our home listed on the new homes site and bought it without coming down, so spin by 2315 when you get a chance.

billjay and i attended the first social club meeting. About 180 people were there. No official business conducted; basically just a meet and greet. Many people brought food and exchanged contact info. There was a half and half raffle that I did not win. There were bingo games that I did not win either.
They need a bigger meeting place next time.

Future meetings will be held at Sterling Heights now that it is open, on I believe the second Monday of each month. Next one will be a pot luck dinner. There was also an introduction of the steering committee and a petition was passed around regarding a possible light or 4 way stop sign where the two recent incidents have taken place. Also mention that if the turnouts continued to be large we may ahve to break up into section meetings.
Thanks Jadlos.

Congratulations to all TG Villagers! Thought Sanibel group was jumping but you are great with high exciting decibels too. Already a first social get together! In addition to a monthly social, FYI, we started a garage party on Friday. Someone wanting to host a garage party, puts out an agreed upon sign on the front lawn. One brings one's own lawn chair and drinks. The host only offers the outside garage space. It doesn't happen every Friday but whenever some one wants to do it. Quick way to getting to know more neighbors. We already did a few times amongst our immediate neighbors at Pennecamp, a relative new Village. I do realize you don't want 180 neighbors descending on your garage either :mornincoffee::mornincoffee:

We moved to Tamarind Grove from the Baltimore area on July 5th, it was Harford County to be exact. We're in the courtyard villas in Southern Star villas. Our neighborhood is a little quiet because several villas were bought by snow birds who aren't here right now. Just got back from the community pool, that's a good place to meet a lot of the neighbors.

First, understand you are not alone. Many of us from all points of the compass are doing the same thing;Praying for folks to view our homes for sale. It will happen when it does and one of the things you can do wrong is price it without taking about a thirty percent loss.
You can make up your loss over the years with the current value at TV. You're getting two things here at TV, your buying your last house and a new life style at the same time. The people already here, having gone through what we are now, are our support group and their fees are very reasonable to say the least, just satisfaction for having helped someone like them.
It will be good, and if you have to turn your lot back in that deposit will just go to another neighborhood and maybe that was part of His plan all along. Hang in there, and keep your head up. Welcome!

We will be moving in early Jan, unless we sell our house sooner and have to close earlier than we want. We will make other arrangements if we have to. We will not miss outran sale. Our house has only been on the market for three weeks and have had 10 showings. No offers, but we are confident that there will be a sale in time. Houses in our area are moving in 30 - 45 days. (Please extra fingers and toes crossed for us). We are very excited to get to TV and "get busy". We will be there soon!!!

WE DID IT!!! We signed our contract today and got our closing date of Dec. 8. We will be on Bachman Path and starting the next stage of our metamorphosis from tadpoles to frogs. We will be moving in early Jan, unless we sell our house sooner and have to close earlier than we want. We will make other arrangements if we have to. We will not miss outran sale. Our house has only been on the market for three weeks and have had 10 showings. No offers, but we are confident that there will be a sale in time. Houses in our area are moving in 30 - 45 days. (Please extra fingers and toes crossed for us). We are very excited to get to TV and "get busy". We will be there soon!!!

We have a friend moving into new CYV there soon. Have they organized any social/golf/pickel ball etc type groups yet in Tamarind Grove? thanks
She missed the monthly meeting. What did she miss? Is it different in the CYVs?

B&BTexas - Best of luck in selling your house and moving to TV. Where in Texas are you located? I just got back from a 2 day business trip to Houston - 100 degrees one day, 102 degrees the next day. Whoo was that hotttt! :wave:

We are from San Antonio. 60+ days over 100' high of 113. Yes, very hot. Even worse, 2" since Oct. For most of Texas, it is being called "The Hundred Year Drought". All of these things combined is the primary reason for all of the wild fires. The cause, El Nina of the coast of Mexico and California. Naturally occurring weather phenomena. Last Winter was the coldest in many years. That is Mother Nature. In Texas, we learn that in time all things will get better and we will appreciate what we have. I hope we don't bring this type of weather with us. We have enjoyed the three trips to TV and can hardly wait to move here permanently.

No Problem just mildly curious:
Do CYVs tend to socialize primarily within their own complex? If this is is true is it due to perhaps a natural phenomenon created by "walls", both the exterior complex concrete and the interior vinyl walls?
Have seen signs in the some of the entrances indicating to residents the date and address of the next driveway party.

We purchased our house this past week and went out to our property to check it out; while we were out there we met our new neighbors! We love them!:a040: Hope to meet the rest of our neighbors in December when we close!

Hello NoSnow,
I'm from Schaumburg so we are almost neighbors. What are you going to do this winter when you have no snow to shovel or ice to scrape off of your windshield? If you would like I can Fed Ex you a box of ice and snow this winter :). Lucky people -- congratulations on your upcoming move to TV. Hope your move goes smoothly. :wave:

I hope not! We have a lovely CYV in TG. We will be moving down in January (coming for a visit in October). Before we left we drove through TG just to say hello to neighbors we saw outside. Met quite a few! Also spent time at the pool. The walls won't keep us inside! :)

Some of us refer to ourselves as "Grover's" because we either live in Tamarind Grove now or hope to one day. We all have one common denominator in that we love the neighborhood and therefore will find it easy to meet and love our new neighbors as well. Good luck to your future.

Our house is now under way in TG and we will be closing Dec. 5th. Can't wait to be a frog and grover. It would be nice if our NJ house sells before we close. Don't want the hassel of not being there. :a040:

Good luck Glen, and may run into you the fourth week in October. These new lower interest rates may get the fence sitters to move now. It'll all be good one day, and you just have to hang in there.
Here in Western NC, if you tell them you're from Jersey, you don't get any BBQ.

Thanks for all your good wishes. We signed our contract today and plan to be in a rental from July-August. Can't wait to get to TV and start building.:a040:
Hello neighbors! We live right behind you on Southwood Drive!

Not to stir up anything at all but I have a question about the train nearby Tamarind Grove.
Has anyone heard the noise form the trains? I worry about how close they are to the houses and how much noise there is.
I only ask because when I visited this last weekend, one of the current residents pointed that out to me.
Just at our brand new house last week in TG and the trains didnt bother me at all. In fact they are rather soothing. The trains sound pretty far off in the distance.

It would be great to meet you. These interest rates are tasty, and I'm Praying for a trip to the design center every day. May it all go well for you and your friends.

Been in Florida for a number of years - had swimming pool in backyard up until our move to TV. Kind of "been there, done that" with the pools. But love to walk and ya might see me trekking through the 'hood. Haven't had a chance to get out much since the move - too much to do at the house. Next I will be looking for a job as I love to work. Wish me luck!!

We had the closing on our house in Maryland yesterday. Everything went smoothly. Tomorrow Tom and I leave for TV, getting there Friday in time for our closing. Movers are supposed to show up Saturday and we are so excited. Hope to meet lots and lots of new friends. We are on Barret Lane. Stop by to say hi!:a040:
