The Village of Fenney?
 
Hi all, question, does anyone know how far it is from Fenney to the federal state prison? I have heard that at night you can see the lights from the prison from Fenney. Is anyone afraid to buy a house in Fenney do to the prison being close?? We have looked at houses there and would like to live there but a little afraid of the prison....

Ask your agent! As for lights at night...take a drive and check it out. I wouldn't be too worried about living there...it's not any different than living here in the more established areas with the accessibility of "any" people who probably won't do you anymore harm than anywhere else. Just read the local papers and social media. We took the drive down there out of curiousity and found the place to be quite pretty. It definitely will improve in beauty with time!

Depends on what part of Fenney, probably 1 mile at the nearest point.

Afraid? Why?
There are always things that can be out of the norm anywhere you buy, thieves, sex offenders, barking dogs, all night partiers and on and on.
A lot of homes are being sold and occupied right now in Fenney.
Don't believe everything you read on TOTV.....go find out for yourself.
99% of TV is just fine, including Fenney.

The latest satellite photos on Google Map now show many of Fenney's streets. On the link, that's Fenney on the southside of 468 and Coleman is directly below (south) off of 501.

I would guess the odds of a prisoner escaping from a federal maximum security facility would be extremely high. And should a prisoner beat those odds and escape, he's not sticking around to taste the food and drink at the Fenney Grill. I would not give Coleman a second thought if you like the area.

Believe me, you're safer living there than you are in living close to parts of Miami, Orlando, Ocala, Wildwood, Leesburg..........

I don't think there is anything to worry about. If, by remote chance, a prisoner did escape and make his or her way to Fenney, he or she wouldn't be able to get in because it is a gated community and that person wouldn't have a gate pass!!! :loco:

Spent our first night here yesterday and I didn't notice the lights. It is very peaceful here once the workers go home I wish it would stay this way but no chance the way they are building. Have zero concerns with the prison. This is a great area a lot different than the northern villages. Bad for some good for others. We like it

If you live in Fenny, and get arrested and serve your time at the nearby prison, your significant other won't have to travel far for a visit.
