Downeast thought GMoney meant the specific POA organization in The Villages, which is, most certainly, not connected with The Villages Developer.

Thanks!

Are the residents of Bison Valley Village allowed to use pools in TVs?

[Cassie325]

Not unless they have a in area Guest Pass and are with the actual resident of the villages that provided the guest pass for them. For instance if Grandma provides the guest pass for little Amanda who lives in Bison Valley with her mom, then Amanda can only go to a pool with Grandma. Amanda and her mom can not go on their own.

This is my understanding.

That is correct. We are not allowed to use any of the villages amenities. We dont get none of that, unlike i have heard in the past. There are however families that live in Bison that have realitives that live in The Villages so they get them in.
We have a Golf Cart access and that is it. Heck we cant even get them to put up lights at the entry. at night you cant even see the Bison Valley sign. Parkwood has light everywhere and The Villages on the right of us is all bright with lights. We are like the Black Hole.

[harleysville]

I know Village of Parkwood is a fairly new community. My question is have they built the clubhouse, kids play area, pool, etc. or are these items going to be constructed in the future?

Does anyone know how many houses total they expect to build in Parkwood?

Many thanks!
Vicki

BUT what a beautiful black hole it is!! Looks no different than any other Village.....oh wait except the lack of a neighborhood pool...and ofcourse the lights....but it is beautiful.

ONE great thing I noticed when I drove by this morning....residents are allowed to put fences up around their back yard!! This is great for your privacy....

We are going to look at the 4 bedroom Lantana on Monday......we may be neighbors....

Oh I met another couple that is building in there....great couple with 2 boys!! You will love them!

Vicki~~I believe Parkwood had an open house to present their rec center....but I can't find it!! I know they plan on building a lot of homes....just do not know the time frame. They own a lot of land!! It will be gorgeous once it is complete! I am looking at a home in their on Monday as well! I will give you details then!!



G~~when Vicki comes for a visit we should all get together to meet...I will invite the other couple as well.....

I believe parkwood is 378 homes. no club house yet. phase 2 is on hold now in Parkwood.

if you like reaching out your window and touching your neighbor on the shoulder while he sites on his couch, Parkwood is the place to go.

That Lantanna by the cart path is real nice. big house for the price. i told my wife the other day I wanted that one. They just listed Lot 64 behind me for 189,000. Over 1900 living whispering Pine. 3/2/2

Well I love the responses I have recieved from this. I have actually met several wonderful young people from the Bison Valley village. I am thrilled to know such wonderful people live there and will be encouraging my daughter to look at it. I think it is so wonderful that the developer has made such nice homes available for families. I can not wait until they move here.

There is actually a woman about my age there as well so her grandchildren can move in when the time is right. Her daughter is very ill and it seems that at some point Grandma will be taking over the raising of the children. She kept her home in Duval but also bought a home in BV. God Bless her and all of you who have given encouragement.

Is there a rule about letting the family stay at my home with me while the villages builds their new home. What of it takes longer than 30 days?

[SABRMnLgs]

In response to "Felix" regarding how long the kids can stay, ..... you can almost be sure someone with a pencil, a piece of paper and a set of binoculars will be counting on their fingers to the minute how long your kids stay with you. They got rules here you wouldn't believe.
Had a very large "stink" about a 6 month old baby on here just a few months ago. The GP were actually reported by a neighbor. But I won't get into that again.
