I think we'd save a few thousand at Phillips and supermarkets and restaurants are presently closer than Fenney. But I kind of like everything being in one complex at Fenney, hiking, bike riding, golf, etc. Any thoughts on the pluses and minuses of each?

Wherever you choose it will be wonderful!

Your Village rep has no info on Soulliere because his managers have not given him pricing etc, that will come a bit later. You are better off buying a Villa in Phillips for 2 reasons, 1. much closer to Publix, Walgreens, Villages Helathcare and various restaurants etc 2. Soulliere is much closer to the train tracks that run parallel to 301. The trains sound their horns frequently and its louder the closer you are.

I live in Woodbury, just below the new Phillips Villas. I love this part of the Villages because there is way less traffic and congestion and more full timers, less renters etc. Also there are a lot more trees and lush landscapes. We have 4 great Executive courses plus Lopez and Glenview all within 5-10 minutes by cart. Plenty of pools, places to walk or run etc, nice Regional Rec Center at Mulberry. The Polo fields and Savannah center are also quite close. Town Square at Spanish Springs is 15-18 minutes by cart, I rarely go there so don't care. Restaurants there are kinda meh anyway..

A lot of the Villas at Phillips are newer larger floorplans with 2 car garages. I looked at Villa resales but the small garages did not work for me plus 1100-1200 sq feet felt a little cramped. The golf course front ones are not cheap but have some great views and nice upgrades. Less expensive ones on interior streets, plenty of choices Here is a link, PM me if you need more help.

Thanks Schaumburger, Ralphie is a bit older now with some gray hairs (getting gray already at 5 years old) but he's still cutie.

Putt4dough, we will give Phillips villas in Woodbury a good hard look. It is near a lot a stuff all golf cart accessible right away. I have heard this area has a lot less congestion than the other areas.

Really excited to be going back in a couple weeks to possibly make a purchase. My wife and I were there at the end of April for our first visit and although we really liked it, we didn't want to make any rash decisions. Now we both think it's the right move for us at this time in our lives.

Can check on Zillow and the Villages Homes, VLS. I saw many nice courtyard villas.
