Homes Being Built in New Village
 

Homes are now under construction in the Village of Richmond. This new Village is a short golf car ride from Brownwood Paddock Square. This Village will also be close to Clarendon Recreation Center, Richmond Recreation Center, Richmond Pitch & Putt and Lake Okahumpka Recreation Center, which are all currently under construction. Homeowners can personalize their

Is there freeway noise…can you hear the prison…can you hear blasting?

HELLO Turnpike!

thank you but will continue living in North .. suburbs are nice but no desire to move there.

You can even host a prisoner if you so desire.

Suggest you come and have a listen.

I heard the last 10 prisoners escaped to Spanish Springs

Yuck
 

The whole thing is built linearly right along the Turnpike. You would have to be an idiot to not realize how noisy this will be.

Prices are way to high I am advising to wait until they come down
 

With the recent increase in home prices, will housing affordability become an issue for the U.S. economy?
Today’s high property prices and rising mortgage rates make housing increasingly unaffordable for a growing share of the population.

Unfortunately, housing affordability has been a problem in the economy for several years. Since the years immediately following the Great Recession (2007–09), the economy has suffered from a lack of affordable housing — that is, homes priced in a range that first-time buyers or families with modest incomes can afford. Given the tight supply of homes, builders have been incentivized to build larger homes where their profit margins are larger. As availability in these higher-priced segments grows, however, we have seen some evidence of builders slowly moving down the price-point scale.

Bad decision to buy home near the turnpike

Not to worry they will buy the home decide it is too noisy and expect the rest of us to pay for either a wall or landscaping to reduce the noise

I think a lot of people were hoping Richmond would be THE village to live in. It appears the developer is going to exploit the closeness to Brownwood and put predominately higher end style homes and a very inflated prices. Just like St. Johns, the patio villas will be right adjacent to the turnpike. It appears those homes are lately almost exclusively being bought up by investors as rentals anyways. It will be interesting to see how they sell now that the interest rates are up and inflations concerns continue. FYI....they are laying infrastructure way down at the intersection of Marsh Bend and Hwy470 so the dream continues.....:crap2:

All the custom build lots sold in under 5 minutes.

Give me one of dem lots against the TPike!

ALL of the Villages is one big suburb, imo.

Very true but quiet is good especially in the evening. Wonder how noisy it will be when they start expanding the turnpike into 3 lanes?

You can here the whiners……….from up north!

"The whole thing is built linearly right along the Turnpike. You would have to be an idiot to not realize how noisy this will be."

Right!!
it'd be even better if they could chop every single tree & shrub down as well, like most all of the new villages...I mean who wants a noise buffer and natural green space hanging around, when ya got a lovely concrete turnpike running thru the backyard!
Oh I know, lets add some house size recirculation pumps running 24/7 in there as well...ya know, to help with the whole "rugged, urban-industrial" vibe! :throwtomatoes:

Yep and that’s worse than the turnpike.

Oh they will sell in 5 minutes flat!

That makes no sense at all. you must be living a a Soundproof shelter now or have hearing aid to deaden the roar of cars and semi-trucks from turnpike.

The comment about the patio villas is interesting to me as we live in a patio villa in Hawkins (also near the turnpike) and we have not met one neighbor in our neiborhood yet who is a renter. We do have a couple who are snowbirds but most we have met are owners/full time residents. Where did this info come from?

Every. Single. Time.

From the posters own bias.

Where is the prison going? New to the area - Village of ST Johns.

Prison was there first

Seen a lot of development over the last 20+ years in TV and the one thing TV Planners have very good at, and done, is preserve most of the trees.
Unlike many outside developers who slash and burn indiscriminately
Most of the land being developed 'down south' was open cattle grazing land in first place.

You must really enjoy Turnpike noise, or if you don't already, you'll learn quickly to love it.

Looong drive
 

If you care about easy cart access to shopping and the better golf stay above 44

Go to any of the websites that cater to rentals. The lions share are smaller patio villas. Before I bought in MB I rented in Chitty Chatty. Every home on my street except for 2 were rentals.

Coleman Federal Correctional Institute (FCI), has been off Marsh Bend Tr and CR470 since at least 2000.

I live in Hawkins. I never hear the turnpike "noise" from inside my home, even with the Lani doors open. I do hear the occasional vehicle on Warm Springs Ave every now and then. If all doors are closed during the heat of the day I never hear any traffic. The biggest noise maker in my area is a neighbor's dog while they are outside playing.

Unless you actually live in one of these areas and have actual experience of "turnpike" noise, then you should keep your opinion mute.

With that being said, I took a golf cart ride around the Richmond village yesterday. I'm impressed with this area and I'm now considering building my next home there.

To those who are trying to decide from afar, rest assure this will be a highly desirable area to live.

Sounds like its not happening!!

It is happening. If you drive south on the turnpike, toward Orlando and beyond, the expansion is already in progress in several areas. It will get here eventually. I read something that said by 2033 but I have no idea how credible that source was. Also read that when they expand they will be putting up sound barrier walls but can’t say for sure that is true either.

And I read it may rain this afternoon but can’t say for sure.

My sentiments exactly. I don't understand why so many people that live north of 44 feel the need to bad mouth these new areas. I live in DeLuna and NEVER hear the turnpike. I'll just be glad when all the construction is done here. Many concrete trucks going by every day. I think my area will be completed in a couple months and then peace and quiet.

The proposed extension is not happening.

No no and no!

Don’t feed the trolls 🧌

11 years from now some posters may not be posting, the rest won’t remember what they said:clap2:
