Default Fenney to Airport

Can someone tell me the estimated time to get from the Village of Fenney to the Orlando Airport? A realtor is telling me about 30 minutes but when I look on Google maps it is more like 56 minutes.

The realtor is wrong and you are right.

It takes us an hour from Sumter Square.

An hour from Fenney is a good guesstimate.

I am sitting in the Orlando airport right now. Took me 55 minutes from Brownwood to the airport parking lot.

Realtor is going to get you a ticket.....I would allow at least an hour, and that is depending on the time of day. Also, if you are interested in the Villages transportation service, I believe they stop in Brownwood now also.

Go up Morris Blvd. to the last right turn before the Turnpike, turn right on CR501 and go about 3 miles to a T, turn left on CR 470 at the T, go about 3 miles to the turnpike entrance at MM296, turn South. You get on the turnpike at exit 296, you get off at exit 254, 42 miles. You have about 10 more miles to the airport. 52 miles plus the 6 miles getting to the turnpike. 58 miles. It is all Interstate except for the portion getting on the turnpike. I have made it in one hour going 75MPH. To do it in 30 minutes would take a Ferrari and no traffic. Oh yea, the tolls are $6.25 one way. A benefit of not having state income tax.

This is the second post by different posters in 2 days that spelled the name of one of our major roads incorrectly, and which just so happens to be the name of the developer of The Villages. Is it so hard to learn the correct spelling of our developer?

John, someone got into bed with the wrong person yesterday, The Morris Family. I kept quiet yesterday but this item you posted should be helpful to many. MORSE like the Morse Code. All in good fun, hey what's with those Black Suburbans with guys talking into their wrists and that red dot dancing all over the room. Excuse me Reddington is at the door.

Makes me wonder what other misinformation that real estate person is sharing with prospective buyers!

When the Turnpike exit opens at CR468 there will be a more direct path which will reduce the time to perhaps 45 minutes, but for now, an hour easily.

You might save a few minutes but that depends on where your new house is. It took us 23 minutes from Duval to Fenney.
