The lot is not on the golf course. It’s in the middle of Danielson with the back of lot facing a retention pond. The cross street is near james street. At the end of Danielson I’d the golf course.

Building in village of citrus grove
The lot is not on the golf course. It’s in the middle of Danielson and at the middle of pond with the back of lot facing a retention pond. The cross street is near james street. At the end of Danielson, is the golf course. The only lots available large enough to hold a three car garage, with a view, not on a corner, or near electrical towers, we’re in citrus grove. We’ve been looking since October. There was Always an issue, such as towers in back yard, cart path practically in the back yard, kissing lanais, too close to rec centers, etc.

There are hundreds if not thousands of homes down here that do not have a view of a power line. Look a little harder they are all over the place. Start with Fenney, the most populous of all villages and the only power lines are on 468 which only a hand full of the hundreds of homes here can see, same goes for DeSoto and most of McClure, on the other side of the Turnpike there are Bradford, Hawkins, and parts of St. Catherine, the south side of Linden and West side of Monarch Grove also come to mind.

You should be ready to hear turnpike noise and watch the traffic.

salespeople have a way of avoiding questions that will impact sales. Take Coleman prison for instance. I asked salespeople about the rumor of a prison near Fenney and I was told....what prison? I don't know anything about a prison. And there was the quarry that no one mentioned....blasting constantly. Buyer Beware!!

Don’t rely on your salesman. The Villages consistently takes the position that researching the ownership, zoning and potential use of private property abutting The Villages is the responsibility of the prospective home owner. You’d better crank up your own research on your question.

When we rode by there on Sunday, we saw another couple in a golf cart driving over that lot, so people are sure out there looking around. The retention pond is a little odd because it appears to be divided by a strip of dirt in the middle. We thought that was only temporary and would be removed, but it looked like there were shrubs being planted in the dirt area. If we go out there tomorrow, we will look at it more carefully and take a picture. |

Do yourself a favor, and visit your lot at night to experience the noise from the turnpike. You will find the noise is much more noticeable at night, when other ambient daytime noises are not present. In particular, stand in the area where your lanai will be. It would be a shame to feel like you couldn't sit on your lanai at night if the noise is too bothersome. Also, you should be able to transfer your deposit to another lot if you change your mind.

sinkholes
You should get a H O insurance quote , and ask about a separate policy for sinkhole insurance. I know for a fact that retention ponds are susceptible to spontaneously draining, Sinkhole insurance is not available in many sections of the Villages because of this. Also the Developer will not fix a sinkhole even tho the sales tour will imply the that he will.
