New Town Square
 

I have seen references to the building of a new town square, but I can't seem to find any specific information about it - where will it be built and when will it be ready are my main questions. I will be starting my search for a home soon and want to take this into consideration.

South of 466a, around cr44

The new Town Square will be off Buena Vista between 466A and 44. The road is now open down through that area. They say it will be a few years before town square is finished and they usually do the golf courses in those areas first. I think the name is Brownwood or Brownwood Paddock it will be a Florida western town theme from what the sales people told us.

Yes sir, it works when you copy and paste. Thanks.

Many times, this site truncates links to save space. The full link for Brownwood Paddock Square is shown in this link:

It will be at the far south border of The Villages as planned. (Unless the Morse family decide to continue) There is nothing built yet on the that section south of 466A, but there is a lot of activity with earthmovers around the new championshop course,and as another poster says, the road is in and so are the golf cart tunnels from 466A to 44. You can drive down it and see where soon there will be thousands of homes. I doubt they will start building homes there until the area north of 466A is completed. However, they are running out of lots for Premeir homes, so we will see.

The newest village that is selling homes and lots is Tamarind Grove. There are still lots in Buttonwood, Pennecamp, St Charles and a few scattered around in Hemmingway and Bonita. When we left for the north the end of May there were a few in Duval too.

You can get an up to date map for five dollars by calling The Villages Mercantile and I can never remember the telephone number or the link , but Russ does.

We lived in Cleveland (Bedford Heights/Maple Heights). We moved to Atlanta in 1973 and to The Villages full time in July 2008. We live in Summerhill.

Huh????

New town square theme: Read "A Land Remembered"
 

Treat yourself and read the book, "A Land Remembered" by Patrick Smith. Then you'll see why the new town square is an old Florida cattle town theme. This is part of a history prof's review of the book, on Amazon.com:

"Patrick Smith compellingly recreates an aspect of Florida history that predates Disney, NASCAR racing, tourism and "God's waiting room." He takes the reader on a three-generation journey through Florida history from the Civil War to the 1960s. Told through the experiences of the MacIvey family, it recounts the family's rise from hardscrabble poverty to wealth and influence. At the same time, we see the evolution of Florida to the state it is today, and laments over its change, a "land remembered." Along the way the reader will encounter the formative events of Florida history from the Civil War onward.

Smith's portrayal of Florida's cattle raising history should enlighten many readers of a little known and often neglected part of Florida's history.

The book may be flawed in some of its literary aspects, but for accessible history it has few peers."

It's a popular book pick in The Villages and everyone I know who read it loved it.
