They have already broken ground for our first shopping plaza, gas is 2 miles from the gate in Coleman or 2-1/2 up 301, or 5 miles to Publix and Kristine way fuel, carwash, banks, etc. 10 minutes to Brownwood, 15 minutes to the Leesburg hospital, 5 miles to Rohan recreation center. We have Spectrum down here for TV, phone, and internet, cell service is spotty but they are in the process of building a new tower on 301 about 1-1/2 miles as the crow flies. 2 golf courses open and 3 more 9's under construction so far. I would also think that they will be building more big box stores on 466A near the new Lowes which is a heck of a lot nearer than 441/27. It all takes time but they are building quickly not only the homes but the amenities, golf courses, and commercial areas. Welcome, we have a large social group here that you can join if you have closed on your home, just search Fenney Friends for the site, lots of information there, you're gonna like it down here.

Welcome to Fenney! You are going to love living there. Retirement can not come soon enough for my husband and I! Congratulations on your new home. Enjoy the process!!!

I can see Highway 301 really coming to life with many new stores in the future. I also think they eventually will add another entrance on the Florida Turnpike. These things time but in The Villages they usually do happen. GPS will take time for those who buy south of the turnpike.

My shopping is mostly done online, today I spend 15 minutes online and got everything I need for the week, even a piece of furniture, and a new washer and dryer.

My one son shops like you. The other son and I were nicknamed "look and wait" a long time ago.

Hi - My wife and I purchased in Fenney just 3 months ago and are planning on coming down for a 2-week visit in July. Can you direct me to the Fenney Friends web link?

Thanks Much.

Time and distance is relative to what you are used to. We live in a very rural area. The nearest mall is an hour away at highway speed and no traffic. If we can't get it at Walmart or want something more than a pizza or burger in a sack, we have to make a road trip. Having virtually everything you need to get to be 20 minutes or less away will be like heaven for us. Being able to grocery grab on a golf cart will be even better. I'm literally taking a break from packing my moving truck at this moment. Monday, April 16th here we come, Villages look out. Will be renting for a few months while we house hunt. Fenney is beautiful and if all of the cart trails were done, it would be a no-brainer that we'd probably buy there, and may still yet. But we are going to look pre-owned in the 466A area first.

My Mom at 85 buys 40% on amazon. I don’t think our kids have shopped in brick in mortar for years.
My washer and dryer is being delivered tomorrow. I was sitting at the pool when I bought everything. Win win for me.

It's a 25 minute drive door to door to the Ocala Mall from our home in Fenney.

So happy for you, we have been here for 2 years now and are still really glad we made the move.

Different strokes for different folks. That is what makes TVs (life) so great!

I agree. Shopping online saves time and gas money...
