Welcome...I live across the street from Tom. I walk my dog down Harding every morning.
Buttonwood is a great area.

Welcome to Buttonwood
 

Welcome, Festus!

We also will be in Buttonwood. Our place is on the cul-de-sac (south) portion of Claverton. We'll be there for a week in Dec. then again in Jan/Feb. It seems to be filling up quickly!

Claverton is my cross street. I am friendly with Bobbie and Mike who live on the culd-de-sac. Which house is yours? Bobbie and Mike have a great view of the golf course. They have the Bridgeport in the center of the culd-de-sac. Great people. I actually had dinner with them tonight tonight and played golf with Mike on Thursday. You are going to love TV.

You have chosen an excellent village. Good for you and a warm welcome!

Add me to the list
 

I TOO AM LIVING IN BUTTONWOOD AND AGREE IT IS A GREAT AREA IN WHICH TO LIVE. WE SEEM TO HAVE A LOT OF OPEN SPACES BECAUSE OF THE MANY GOLF COURSES AROUND HERE. i LIVE IN WHAT WE CALL "BUTTONWOOD HEIGHTS." IT IS THE FIRST UNIT ON THE RIGHT AS YOU TURN ON TO BUTTOWOOD RUN. WE HAVE A NICE LITTLE AREA WITH A LOT OF CUL DE SACS AND SHORT THROUGH STREETS. I LIVE ON VALLEY OAK (WILL ONLY BE 9 HOUSES) AND THERE ARE FEW PEOPLE HERE YET. MORE SEEM TO BE MOVING IN EVERY DAY. :wave: WE HAVE BUTTONWOOD SOCIALS WHICH ARE ALWAYS ABOUT 150 PEOPLE. WE NEED TO START GETTING A BIGGER ROOM. A LOT OF STUFF IS ORGANIZED ALREADY.

Welcome to Buttonwood
 

Hi neighbor! We live on Buttonwood Run (that is, we'll be back there late December.) :wave:

Joining you'll Soon
 

Finally sold our house here in Houston, flying down to The Villages to buy our new home on Thursday and looking to move down after the 10th of December, truely looking forward to the move:icon_wink:

Hey Buttonwood Folks,

I'm so jealous, I wish I was there too! We will be there next year hopefully, we bought our lot on Graves Court. We will be selling our home early next year and then begin building.

Enjoy!

We closed Oct. 26th in Buttonwood. We are on Danwood Place. Will be coming down in early Feb. Can't wait to meet all of you!!

That's great news, Steba. Hope to meet you too. I see this is your first post. Welcome to TOTV. There are plenty of good conversations here, so open up and join in!

Can't Wait
 

We have a lot on Allure Loop. Hope to have the house built early next year and be in by the end of February. Can't wait to get out of the cold!

Buttonwood - Breckenridge Ct.
 

We are going to be snowbirds so we bought a small (Patio Villa) property.

Only reservation I had was lack of shopping/restaurants/commercial development at the SE end of TV. I assume that will change with all the building in that area and in Brownwood.

Looking forward to golfing with some of you (if I ever figure out that resv system).

Any Illini/Big Ten fans in the area? I need to decide on cable/Direct TV pros and cons.

FWIW:

If you have DirecTV back home, read further: You can call their "Mover's Connection" toll-free number (877) 616-MOVE (6683) to arrange an antenna installation at your TV home. Make sure you bring your receivers (all of them) from home along with the 110v cords and the remotes and have your new televisions set up in your villa. They'll hook you up just like it was a new installation - - - except you provided the receivers! You call their regular 800 number to have them switch your local service area to TV - do the same when you leave to go back home. That controls where you're getting your local channels from - the TV area or back home. THERE ARE NO ADDITIONAL CHARGES/FEES FOR THIS. And the antenna install is free....for "standard installation", that is. If you want the antenna installed on a short pole in the ground, there's usually an up-charge for that. Anyways, this set-up should work perfectly for snowbirds. Thus it's like having a single DirecTV service/account......only you can use it at two locations. Hence the reason to take all your receivers to TV - they won't allow concurrent service at the two locations.

And if you don't have DirecTV service back home, maybe it's worth switching.

Bill

Like Bill-n-Brillo, I like Directv also. I have cable in TV and use it when I'm there, and Directv when back north. I find Directv to be head and shoulders above cable. I find the picture quality better(I'm told it has to do with signal compression) and I'll be able to get regional sport channels in TV. Downside is you won't get the Villages channel, but you can get it online. I plan on switching over to Directv when we move down full time. And as far as being to far away from things, you'll be away from a lot of traffic, and you're only a nice cart ride away!

Well, we made it down to The Villages last Thursday through Sunday, started looking at homes on Thursday afternoon with sales agent Tommy I. and ended up selecting our new house 4 hours later. New home will be located in Pennecamp, off of Pennecamp Drive (1748), close on the 20th of December, but moving down on the 11th staying with brother-in-law who has house in BonnyBrook.

Congratulations! :crap2::pepper2::a040:

:confused::confused:Is Bottonwood somewhat more isolated? Where is shopping and the town squares in relation to this area?

Buttonwood is between SR 466 and SR 466A, SW of Pennecamp, towards the SW portion of TV..........as TV currently exists. The closest Town Square today is Lake Sumter Landing, which is not all that far away. As new construction continues south of 466A, Buttonwood will be pretty much equidistant from the new Brownwood square and LSL. In addition to shopping, etc. that's in LSL, there's some shopping at Colony Plaza Shopping Center which is currently in the far SE corner of the existing development.

Hope that helps! :)

Bill

Yes Bill that does help. We are thinking about making a purchase, but have hesitated because Buttonwood seemed so remote.

Thanks for your input.

Cyn:wave:

Here's a little more of a perspective of what's planned for Brownwood, plus an additional shopping area that will be adjacent to it called Amtrim Dells:

http://www.thevillagescommercialprop...im%20Dells.asp
Brownwood's on the right, Antrim Dells is on the left (both shaded in brown)

Granted, Buttonwood won't be within immediate walking distance of shopping, current or future. But there's going to be a bunch of stuff just a short golf cart ride away!! :MOJE_whot:

Bill

I live in Buttonwood and Lake Sumter is 5.2 miles away/ It takes about 15 minutes by golf cart to reach town. Brownwood might be a little closer when it is finished. If you are considering Buttonwood/Pennecamp area don't allow distance discourage you.

We just moved into Buttonwood 3 weeks ago --It is only 15 minutes to LSL by CART about 8 minutes by car ---Its a great place --

I forgot to mention that there are PLENTY of stores and restaurants, etc. where Buena Vista Blvd. intersects 466, north of Buttonwood. A little bit longer ride than getting to LSL but there is a bunch of stuff up there!

Bill

Welcome to Buttonwood. I know how excited you are..
We moved to Buttonwood 3 weeks back----------Love it!
We are on Beecher Path.

Pat

When I first moved to Pennecamp (next to Buttonwood) I took the car to LSL and shopping figuring it too far for a cart. Lately we are using golf cart. A much shorter drive then I anticipated.

We did it!!!!
 

Well, our trip was successful and we did buy a new home in Pennecamp! Close on the 20th and will actually be down around the 12th in prep for closing.

tomg - Congrats!!! Hope all the closing goes well. You'll enjoy your new life in TV!!

Bill

Thanks Bill, noticed your in Ohio, I grew up in Vermilion, but have been living pretyy much coast to coast the last 40 yerars!
