Hello Fenney
 
Just closed on house in Fenney. Looking to arrive in near future.
Excited to meet our fellow pioneers. Were first house on our block 22 years ago in Colorado. Looks like we're doing the same in TV.

Welcome! You will love it!

Welcome. We close on our new home in Fenney on May 10.

Welcome to The Villages. I so enjoy the residents of Fenney who post on this Forum. Our next door neighbor just joined the Fenneyites. It seems like such a fun and welcoming place.

New Fenney owner here, too. Just closed in January after doing the Lifestyle Preview Plan, and am renting for now. My wife and I will be coming down the last 2 weeks of July for a visit and hope to meet our new neighbors then.

We just purchased a lot in Desoto. Coming in May to pick what we want in our new home. I do have a question. We currently live on a golf course and own our own electric golf cart. What do I need to do to our cart so we can drive on the paths and streets in TV. I am sure this has probably been ask before but I could not find it on this site. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help.

Bernie66 03-21-2018 01:32 PM

We are closing in Desoto, next door to Fenney, on April 9. Can't wait!

Dmbluk 03-21-2018 01:43 PM

Hi Bernie66. We bought on Cainsworth Place. Where did you buy?

MrPelota 03-21-2018 02:21 PM

I don’t think you have to do anything to your cart....I believe people just bring it with them when they move to TV. Welcome!

2BNTV 03-21-2018 03:21 PM

Congrats. Best wishes as you start living the dream. :smiley:

You can retrofit your cart for Villages use, but I would suggest you might be better served to sell your current cart up there and buy a new or a used cart that is already Villages ready. There are always numerous used carts for sale in the Villages and nearby, and many are very good buys.

After 8 states, 3 time zones, 6 days on the road, 2,000 miles, in a Prius with a dog, we finally arrived a week ago. Still waiting for our household goods, so we’re camping in our new house. Glad to help fill in the neighborhood.

Most carts in TV have lights, turn signals, horn, brake lights, speedomoter, and full curtains for those sudden showers and storms. The curtains aren't a requirement of course. Not sure which of the other things are required or optional. The cart that is provided at my rental is a Villages Carts purchased cart and it doesn't have a speedometer on it.

The thing you may find challenging is that the speed limit for carts is 20mph. Anything above that and you can be ticketed and fined for operating an unlicensed vehicle. However, in many cases, anything below 20 and you could get runover. There are some villagers out there that have hotrod'd their carts to go above 20 and they don't bring a lot of patience into their retirement. I owned 2 electric carts before moving down here. Both were lifted with bigger tires and neither would go 20 without having some work done to them by an authorized dealer. Some do have electric carts here but it is a big place that is getting bigger and electric is becoming less practical the further you want to go. That won't be an issue in Fenney, though, for another year and a half when the golf cart trails, bridges, and tunnels connect Fenney to the rest of TV. An electric might be a good option for a second cart for making short and local runs or maybe a round of golf, but a gas cart is really the way to go here.

Welcome to TV. We are closing on our Fenney home week after next. We have a rental in Dunedin through the end of June but I doubt we'll wait that long to get completely moved in.

Great move. Welcome, you're going to love it here.

Go to villageoffenney.com. This is a general website for everyone in Fenney. There will be links to Fenney East , West and South. Find where you are on the map and there is a website only for Villagers who live in that geographic area. The reason they broke it down to geographic areas is because when there are events, the Rec Center can only hold so many people and not enough room for everyone.
We just closed on our home. We are in Fenney East. Sign up for $10.00 and it has a wealth of information and blog just for your geographic area!

Sorry for duplicate message. I am not the best with computers and this site if hard for me to navigate. Not really sure how to post correctly!

tomwed 05-09-2018 08:36 AM

Can somebody give me a link for patio villas for sale in Finney? For some reason I can't sort for them on any site.

That's most likely because there are none available. If you go to TV homefinder site and click the "More" drop-down, you can select Patio Villas series as on option. But doing that does not show any listed in Fenney. If you zoom in on Fenney on the map view on that site, I see only 1 Villa available for sale and it looks like a CY Villa. If you are looking in that area, just keep close tabs on when they open Villas up for sale in the areas they are starting to build out now to the east and north of Fenney.

I don't think you need a boycott. I think that charging 10 dollars to join a web site will cause it to self destruct.
