In looking on MapQuest I don't see anything out of the ordinary :dontknow:

LG - Are you trying to scare them?

Looking at the maps it looks like that street is over 4 miles from the main track.

Cherry Lake road is on the east side of Mallory Hill - Correct?

Okay LG now I know we aren't on the tracks Handie gave us the low down and we'll be safe. He didn't scare us Russ. We'll see for ourselves next week. Hooray! ;D

LG,
Thank you for posting the link - we came to TV for a visit in May and saw a few homes through a Villages agent. We've sold our home in NY and will be arriving in TV in December and renting until we find the right home for us. We have not been informed of the price cut promotion (how do you get on that list, anyway? :dontknow: ), but were called by our salesperson a week before the furniture promotion expired, and strongly encouraged to buy immediately! Glad we waited, for as I understand it property taxes are based on the selling price of the home, so I'd rather have the price cut than the furniture. Is this correct?

Taxes are bases on the appraised price which is done by the county appraiser. I have a house that I paid 150k for and it is appraised for 100k. Taxes are 1400.00 per year

Thank you - I've gotten lots more info from TOTV than from the RE agent, that's for sure!
