Default Fenced in backyards that are not courtyard villas...

Merry Christmas to all!

Have just come back from Nash Loop in the Village of Hemingway.

Thinking solely of properties north of 44, are there any other "pockets" of ranches/designers that have been built with fenced in backyards?

Thank you, in advance, for any intelligence!

If you do not get any suitable answers, a call the villages sales department will not only get you an answer, but the agent will probably be able to tell you if any are currently for sale.

On a side note, if your need for a fence is to let fluffy out to play/exercise, be aware we have several predators is this area.

Thanks!

Absolutely will pose this to my incumbent VLS agent.

Thing One and Thing Two will be well guarded from the area’s varmints!

Off Odell circle between Canal Street and Havana golf course. There is a street that has either ranches or cottages with fenced in yards, which is probably where you looked at the homes. Other than Hemingway, no other homes were built until the veranda explosion.

Hemingway Built way before verandas, homes were probably built in around 2009 or 2010, guessing as a trial run. After that you will find Verandas (designers with fence) in most neighborhoods built around 2013 and are still very popular in every new village built today.

But you will have to cross 44 to get verandas, so a couple miles down the road Pine Hills has a large Veranda section not far from where your target area is.

VLS agents do not know it all. Bradford village allows certain type of preapproved fences.

Many thanks. That is Nash Loop. Seeking to understand if Nash Loop is unique or whether there are other such areas.

Am not (yet, anyway) enamored with “south”…especially south of The Turnpike.

Pine Hills area has veranda neighborhoods, not far from neighborhood Walmart (has brown fences not the new grey color)just across 44, no where near the turnpike, but
There are power lines, not visible in some areas, but still there
And it’s Lake county

As others have mentioned, it sounds like you're looking for what The Villages calls "Veranda" homes. As for those which are for sale, consult The Villages Homefinder site which allows you to select new or previously owned homes, neighborhoods, and home models. Look here.

As you look, consider the taxes that you will pay. Houses in Fruitland Park have higher taxes than other areas.

Fyi to OP - Rented a Villa in Pine Hills that backed to 466A, loud pickup trucks are a wakeup alarm starting at 5am. Road noise on the Lani was so loud you couldn't talk on the phone.

I think in many places north of 44 there are fences in the back, if the property borders an edge of the Villages. I am thinking of the village of Tamarind Grove, on its western side, where it borders 462 & other villages going north that have a western border. On the south very close to 44, but still north, I think Lake Deaton properties that border 44A have fences. Actually, & I'm sure many on this site will jump to prove me wrong, I suspect all of the edge bordering properties have that trademark brown rail fence. At least that is what I have observed while driving around. It may not be true in the historic section, but I think it is true in Silver Lake where the properties border 25. I know I'm home once I see those brown fences.

If you go to The Villages homes sales app, you can filter it to only show you Verandas. A quick search shows 0 Verandas for sale north of SR 44 but several below SR44.
