Proximity of Middleton to Eastport
 

I am trying to buy in Richmond, but if that fails to pan out, then my agent is directing me towards Newell, with the promise of close proximity to Eastport once the Bexley Bridge is complete. How close will Eastport be to Middleton, and will it all kinda run together, with Eastport becoming the town square of the families that live in TV?

The attached map may help. See the south area. Newell and EastPort looks very pretty close to Middleton.

See the attached map. A straight line from Bexley Bridge to the intersection of Marsh Bend Trail and 470 is 2.25 miles. If the map is drawn to scale, Eastport should be closer to Middleton than Bexley is to the intersection.

You need to be comfortable with the timeline for Eastport, and probably add 12 to 18 months to it.
Sawgrass Grove is not open, and is probably 9 months late?

I think you meant Sawgrass Grove. Citrus Grove has long been finished.

Your map is inaccurate. I live in the Villages of Linden and see too many inaccuracies on this map.

What are a couple of those inaccuracies?

Middleton to Eastport is able a mile as the crow flies, half again as much by golf cart once everything is built. They won't run together because of the golf course, residential units, and the Gibson WWTP that will separate them, sprawl of the commercial properties doesn't happen in this planned development, the lines are clearly drawn.
Newell is about 2 miles from Eastport, again as the crow flies, by golf cart it will be about 3.5 miles + or -.

So we were lucky got a lot in Richmond. That said, by cart from Richmond to StCatherines, is 15 minutes. So as a guess Newell would be maybe another 10 minutes. Taking a car to Brownwood from Newell would be a better option . It might be 2 plus years before next square is ready

Newell will have some great lots. We drive through there often.

Yes very true and hope you all enjoy it.

For us it is much to far from shopping and places on 27/441 we often go to.

It’s not about you. If you read the OP it’s about whether Newell would be a suitable alternative to Richmond and its relative distance to the squares.

Doesn't your agent have this information??
