Village of Duval
My wife and I are constantly looking at pre-owned CYV's for a future move to TV.
We found 2 of them in Duval and wondered if anyone can tell us about the area. I like the location in TV because it seems to be in the newer part and close to LSL and the new town square to be built. What else should we know about the area? |

DUval
I went to a class last week that stated that Duval is on a "hot spot" for clay soil. The is as opposed to the sandy soil the rest of us have. I don't know if you would have trouble growing native Florida plants. You might want to contact the Florida agricultural extension office.

I think Duval is a lovely Village. One of my very best friends has a gorgeous home there. Having said that, I think there may be a sewer treatment plant close to some CYVs.
I think you should spend some time talking to neighbours before you buy in any Village.

Another thing is that some homes in Duval will have natural gas service. Those that do will more than likely have a gas furnace, dryer, and stove. Some people like having it, others don't. Can't speak for ALL the homes in Duval but I know that most all the houses I see have the flue pipes sticking out the rooftops. Ours has natural gas.

Regarding the comment "homes in Duval will have natural gas service". We live in Allendale Villas and it is totally "electric".

We live in Bonita, so quite close to parts of Duval. And I agree about the great location.
The odor Bare refers to seems to come from some of the retention ponds bordering the Truman golf course, rather than from the treatment plant in Largo. Also, those same villas are across the golf course from 466A - that could mean a bit more noise and a bit less security. There is also a commercially zoned area right near there -again, just as part of disclosure. I would ask your TV or MLS agent exactly where the villas are in location to the ponds/Truman, 466A and the commerical area... k

I think it's electric south of O'Dell and gas to the north.
I like Duvall, great location, I'm next door in Hemingway. |
