Bexley Trail starts at the Sawgrass roundabout and goes over Southern Oaks Bridge and continues past Eastport to 470.

It will be busy! If they charged a toll, they could abolish the amenity fees!!

How big does it have to be before TV becomes a true city with a mayor and council?

Go to the top of the bridge and take a photo in the opposite direction.

That’s what it will look like in 3~5 years or less …..

Wasn’t my post....but I can’t say with certainty that ‘most’ of the 130k (arguably) people in TV are ‘friendly people’. Simply because I haven’t met all or most....however, if ToTV and the threads within are any indication.....yeah, maybe it’s best to believe what you want to believe!

When we moved into our new home in 2014, there was suspicion that the Developer Family would pack it in and cash out. The talk was “Buildout”. No construction south of Route 44. Sure…. We were located near the southern end of TV, now in the middle. Middleton will probably be the middle in a decade or so. Will be 250k folks then.

Never, we are set up under special Florida laws as a community development district. The laws make it very difficult to change the structure.

We have a friend in bushnell he showed me massive new land development around bushnell. He has been told these are all the villages land clearing areas. True or not who knows but looking at them doing it and to me I have to agree. As far as I am concerned there are going to be way way more homes being built. Yes it will change that “bubble” fomo is going out the door. The next interesting situation is the massive rise in new listings in Florida. More inventory is coming and the sales are stalling. Will is affect pricing no one knows yet.

Looking forward to the growth of the next 25 years ! It’s absolutely amazing watching all this unfold. This is why I chose to move to The Villages. Can’t wait for all the activities that Eastport will bring.
