the villages are supposed to own.....in one name or another.... all the way to Center Hill. Hwy 48.

So says residents of Allentown who are holding out for big bucks with there land.

Looking @ the average age of Villagers--we shouldn't worry about real estate values as long as we are on the right side of the grass- in all reality, real estate is not an investment-its a life style purchase- if you have to purchase real estate to make $$--you're kidding yourself if you're purchasing in the TV--

If you want to make real $$ in real estate buy in Chatham TWP,NJ--10% a year--but 30% of all properties are over $1,000,000.00

The Villages is such a success. Why would they ever stop?

I can't take it anymore. We are from Florham Park NJ over near Braidburn C.C. and we could put Chatham Twp or Chatham Boro under our finger nail and we love to eat at Wendy's & we don't drink and and I let people cut in front of me at the mailbox and I hold doors open for others and and and and that's all for now. I feel much better. Our school always beat Chatham in football too! If you read this and you want to drive slow in front of me I won't cry about it or honk the horn. If you serve me a bad meal I won't ruin your business with my beer muscles sitting behind a computer reporting something I don't like and being a human cloud.

Especially with more and more family mouths sitting at the table...wanting their piece of pie.

I think with additional research we'll find that The Village of Fenney is a Villages-owned development and has significant recreational amenities planned. The property along CR 466A in Wildwood was originally supposed to be an expansion of The Villages. But negotiations between The Villages and the town of Wildwood broke down and The Villages withdrew any further plan for developing that property.

Wildwood did not want the property to be developed as a senior community and wanted far greater residential density and more commercial and retail space. The Villages plan which was rejected was for a senior community with an additional golf course and recreational facilities which would be connected to existing Villages development.

The development currently underway will represent the land use desired by Wildwood and will have virtually no recreational amenities other than walking trails and a very small (7.6 acre) city park. It will not be connected to The Villages, nor will residents of that area have access to Villages amenities. We will have to deal with the additional traffic that is inevitable along 466A, of course.

Always enjoy and agree with your posts.

I would have much preferred to have more of The Villages in the area that Wildwood wanted more Wildwood. It is my opinion that behind a lot of decisions made by the current leadership of Wildwood is Village envy. The Villages don't have to play with them. Go Morses.

VK, this thread is very long and has taken some twists and turns - as is often the case.

You didn't quote a message, so I'm not sure who you are responding to. You refer to the approximately 300 acres on CR 466A, across from Pinellas Plaza.

This thread was started to discuss the approximately 2,300 acres in the area along CR 468, north of Florida's Turnpike. This parcel is definitely own by The Villages.

There is already a bridge just south of the service area.

Has anyone noticed the Cross Florida Greenway bridge across I-75 (Cross Florida Greenway -The Land Bridge | Florida Hikes!). Just saying that a Turnpike is not impossible to cross. I agree that golf car trips would seem to be a bit lengthy. But imaginations can go wild. Another town south off the Turnpike? It started with one up here.

I would think that an area that far south would need to be a stand-alone village with its own town center and amenities.

If that happens, I'm out. Don't need any more over saturation of amenities.
