On my way over to Fenney this weekend to do a flyover of the new golf courses I noticed that work had begun on Southern Oaks Phase 1 & 3, but not Phase 2. I couldn't help myself and had to stop and get a better view of what was going on.

Southern Oaks Phase 3

thank you for posting this! It is always interesting to see how quickly the developer works and gets things done. Looking at the map it looks like one those areas being developed will be Desoto. Not sure what they named the village that will be across 468 from Desoto (where you were standing). But I think it makes sense of the direction that they are going (both north and east) since it will head them towards the bridge that's supposed to be built over the turnpike while still going towards 44.

Very interesting. It shows the mass of development going on down here. Desoto is well underway and should see foundations going in very soon and they have started the neighborhood pool. Now if only they would get started on some commercial development like a gas station. Thank you for showing these.

As a future resident of Fenney, these videos are really fun to watch. We will be retiring and moving there in about three years, so it is fun to see the growth and development of the area from your drone. Thanks again.

Thank you, Goldwingnut, for sharing that with all of us on TOTV. I'm not only amazed with the development that is rapidly continuing, but also of the talent that we have in our neighbors in TV........again, thanks!

You also just reminded me to give my sales agent a call. Since we're considering buying a new home when we move down full-time, we've been wondering if everything below Osceola Hills is subject to the additional Wildwood taxes or if the dividing line for that is further south. Off hand, does anyone else on here know the answer to that question? We asked an agent when we did a walk-through of an open house but he didn't seem to know.

Everything south of SR44 that is currently being developed or in the known planning stages - from US301 to the county line on both sides of the turnpike is in the city of Wildwood city limits, on the north side of the turnpike around 470 is Leesburg so there will be city taxes there, so yes, you're going to pay city taxes on top of county taxes, maintenance fees, bond, and amenity fees. Of all of the costs the Wildwood taxes should be the most concerning to anyone buying, TV has become the Wildwood cash cow.

Thanks for the info. Good to know.

I’m sure all the Villagers that will be paying Wildwood & Leesburg city taxes will make the most of the extensive amenities offered by these two cities.

Well worth the cost to live down here and a heck of a lot cheaper than we were paying up north dollar for dollar in home value, this is unlike anywhere else in TV and they are selling like hotcakes.

It is definitely nice in Fenney and distinctly different from other parts of TV. We toured a 3BR 3BA designer home with a great layout and a beautiful lake view for I believe under $350,000. As quickly as we walked the neighborhood to check out some other homes, it sold! We weren't surprised for the price and location - I think the Fenney Grille and pool were within walking distance. Somebody got a great buy!

Does the area of Fenney an others down there have multi-water meters similar to properties north of Cr44 ??

What I'm asking is there a potable water meter and a non-potable water meter for watering the lawns ??

There are two systems down here, one for each.
