Denham vs Dabney vs Moultrie
Looking at new homes. It appears that the Denham/Dabney is kind of bare as far as restaurants, golf, or any shopping? It looks like one maybe two pools for the whole area? How far to areas where you can get a beverage or dinner? Seems like a social desert.
Please help. |

If you live in Moultrie, you will be about five minutes from Eastport which will be the new town square. There are no restaurants in Eastport now but there will be a number of them in the next year or so. You will also be near Middleton where there will also be restaurants. And there are supposed to be several championship courses, at least four executive courses, and a pitch and putt course. There will also be a driving range. I don't think the Villages plans on putting any additional amenities in Denham or Dabney. They appear to be focused on Eastport. |

We are 20 minutes to Eastport by cart from Lake Denham. We are 10 minutes to Sawgrass. 30 minutes to Brownwood. We have tons of walking/bike trails. Area across 470 from Dabney is likely to be commercial but I don’t think we will have a cart path across 470. We do lack neighborhood pools. Only Dabney. But we have Franklin, Homestead, and Ezell rec centers pretty close.

The retail establishments come when there are enough people to support them. Brownwood is over 10 years old and infrastructure still being built.
Before buying that way would spend a lot of time seeing what is there and if it will be ok with you to travel a distance for stores and restaurants. |

No one anticipated Central Parkway would have GC tunnels and traffic calming features (curvres/roundabouts).. So anything is possible for 470 over the next 5-10 years. Last edited by Altavia; 04-30-2024 at 09:44 PM. |

Moultrie creek is a great location where there will be dining and activities 5 minutes away plus golf cart accessible shopping. Something that Dabney and Lake Denham will likely never have closeby. |

The dictionary defines several as more "than two but fewer than many." According to this youtube video, there are going to be three championship courses in Eastport. They are Shallow Creek (18 holes); Woodlands (18 holes); and Meadow View (27 holes). The information starts about the 4 minute mark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vlb8mV0_VE4 |

One exec is close to being playable by late spring. 2 more are very visible outline for one championship, and other could be an executive. For some it’s hard to imagine what a course looks like in the beginning stages, for me I can see tee box areas, and where the greens will be. You would have to be almost blind not to see the all the water hazards, make a very challenging but great courses to play. So if you hit short, rug burn, or just hit them straight it will be great golf. Oh there is a pitch and putt close to ready, not a fan, but looks like the entire area is water. So if you can pitch onto the green you will be good. If you roll off or hit long you will need another ball. |
