Verandas???
 

Read in the Daily Sun that TV has a "new" Courtyard Villa with Designer homes coming called the Verandas. Has anyone seen any of these? What do you think? If so, which Village are they building them?

The attraction will be the 2-car + golf cart garage with fenced yard for privacy; however, I'll end up losing my water view...I think. So I could go for a swimming pool...if the yard is big enough.

Anyway...(cue music)..."I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it"... :pepper2:
Our house goes on the market in 3 weeks and we will be in TV as soon as possible!

Any information as well as your opinions are Greatly Appreciated! :2excited:

From the Feb. 9 Daily Sun article: "Stay tuned. Construction is well underway and we're excited to unveil them to you in the coming weeks."

You need to call a Sales Office for more information, and/or keep checking thevillages.com. I'm "guessing" that they will be in the Fenney & DeSoto area.

Thanks, Champion 6! I did see that it said "construction is in progress" so I am hoping that there is something more substantial going on. I'm wondering if they will be in Marsh Bend or Linden as Fenny looks close to built out (not bought out). But this is my thoughts from afar! Thanks for responding!

You will not lose the water view. The regular fencing is along the sides with a front gate. If there is a view, the fence becomes low and metal with posts.

Yay! I was hoping that I wouldn't need to lose that option! If you note anything else, please share. All info is truly appreciated!

One of the values of ToTV is that you get unvarnished views...no one has a particular interest in selling one. We've already found that information was withheld (hopefully not purposefully) when we nearly purchased a lot in Fenny. For example, the area we were planning to purchase a lot does not allow for rentals, and I see both positive and negative to this requirement. We may not have known this except we found this out (as well as other info) from another sales agent. So contacting the Sales office doesn't necessarily give it to you straight.:sigh:

I have never heard of an area in TV where rentals are not allowed. Can you clarify? Can you specify the street?

95% of all new construction is going on in Fenney. The historic side is mostly demonishing older mobile homes for new cottages. The north Mulberry area is has been all CYV's. The Villages of Pine Ridge and Osceola Hills are nearing completion, so Fenney would be your likely candidate.

What actually this would turn out to be, is designers homes at designer prices but they can have smaller lots. My CYV community has 80 homes, if it was normal size lots there wouldn't be even 40 homes on that amount of space. So new buyers are happy with the fence, privacy, dog area, and The Villages are happy, more homes per land area without sacrificing price.

There are quite a few designer homes that are completely fenced in with large yards already built and available in Fenney South. These would not be the verandas but they serve the purpose of having a larger home with a larger lot for pets or pool or whatever else is allowed within the confines of those fences. There are no views however included with this batch of homes. I'm not a fan of fences but I would rather have one of those than be 20 feet away from someones lanai on another interior lot. These homes could also allow for a noisy neighborhood as I would think these will all be dog or multiple dog homes or maybe some chickens too. There are roosters down here somewhere, I hear them every morning when I walk my dog just prior to sunrise.

KSSunshine, I send you a Private Message.

The only place to get accurate info on deed restrictions on your property is the districts web site where you can see a copy of the restrictions that will be attached to your deed when you buy your lot/house.

VCDD Deed Compliance - Sumter County

Each small area of a village has it's own, unique restrictions. District 12 alone already has 25 different deed restrictions and it's hardly even started. So it's not surprising that you would get conflicting answers from different sales people or the sales office.

It is in the cul-de-sac of Zippered Way and Sweet Bay Trail...I think that was Unit 12F. The lot was 75 or 76 or 77...don't remember that well as we were waiting to see which one was big enough for a pool. I think 12F is the only area that cannot be rented out. At least that was the understanding we gained.

We were at the Fenny Rec center looking at the relief map with several others, including sales agents, standing around talking. I'm not sure who actually said it, but apparently it was known information. Just disappointed although it may have kept us from making a choice that we wouldn't have liked in time for several reasons.

Since I'm an early riser, roosters crowing probably not a problem!

Hmmm, Interesting! I book-marked this website to make sure that we have read through everything when we purchase. Most of it seems typical and what I have heard about TV. So the restriction of renting was the only surprise, but I didn't find it in scanning some of the VCDD 12 Restrictions. Thanks for sharing!

We stopped down at Fenney on Friday to ask about these new Verandas. Salesman didn't have any info yet. They were mentioned at a sales meeting the day before but no information, i.e. exact location, floor plans, price was forthcoming. They will be in Fenney.

Also, we looked at several designer with fences. They are OK. Not enough to make us leave our beautiful courtyard villa in Hadley. The salesman did confirm that there are no rentals allowed in this area of Fenney.

We were at Fenney looking at home sites and a particular area was pointed out to us by the sales agent as an area that will not permit renters. If you know that up front there should be no problem. If you are interested in renting out your home, don't buy there.

:shocked: :confused: :eek: This is a SIGNIFICANT change in owner restrictions! I wonder how large the area affected by this is in size.

I love the idea of a courtyard villa, but need a 2car + golf cart garage. I was hoping the Verandas would fit the need! Guess I'll wait and see!

And thanks for confirming the no rentals in the specific Fenny area. Started to think I was losing my memory!

Exactly, as long as you know before you fall in love!

It may have been larger, but we were looking at a lot in 12F...Sweet Bay Trail and Triggerfish...lovely area. While the restriction didn't make the final decision, we did discuss the ramifications to our family. I see both positive and negative to this change and wonder how others, who are looking to relocate there, are thinking this through.

I would guess that if there is a rental restriction it is for short term rentals rather than long term. I often wondered why they did not have no-rent sections available and maybe there is a good demand for them. I would be interested although not a Villa.

Soon to be seen in Fenney:
NO RENTING ANY TIME

:pray: From your lips to God's ears.

If you want a 2 car + garage, don't settle for less or you will always regret it.

Agreed! We'll have a regular car, a vintage car and a golf cart. Anything less won't work!

We got the feeling from our salesman that it encompassed two blocks where there are designer homes with fences.

These houses have just been listed in village of Fenney. They look very nice! Lots of different ones to choose from

Saw those this afternoon as well! Would love to see the floor plans, but hopefully they will appear soon (no link found). We aren't in TV just yet...sitting in sleet and freezing rain, and totally jealous of the 80+ weather in TV.

Veranda's
 

If you go to TheVillages.com, click on Home Search, Click on Series & Models, scroll down to Veranda's. They all will appear.

Homefinder - The Villages(R) Homes and Villas for Sale

Floor plans are not new. Just designers with new names. Just as they were advertised, a designer with Courtyard Villa walls = privacy.

Our sales rep was very upfront that 12F in Fenney is "No Rentals". He told us that it was a result of resident feedback. If that neighborhood sells, they will do more. If not, it may be the only one!

Looks like "The Verandas" are in unit 9F in Fenney.

The Verandas is just east of the water feature behind our new house (being built) in the cul de sac of Wood Stork Way. I'll have to explore them the next time I am in Fenney.
