😬 buying the dream
Quote:
THIS ⬆️ is significant. If you golf, buy a pre-owned home. Sure it’s fun to buzz around in ur golf cart but if you are interested in PLAYING golf you should look much further north than the ‘new’ areas |

I was just looking at it on the map and I think I was there once. Is it really 35 min? Seems closer to me than Brownwood and that only takes 29 minutes.

Yes 35

We found Magnolia a little farther. If you are ever bored, try the tip sometime just to get out. It’s a pretty long drive.

Yeah, pretty much how I do things is use the cart if I'm bored or heading to a few places. But if I just need a quick Publix run I take the car. I don't find Brownwood to be much faster by car than cart, maybe 10 minutes at best. |

Is Lake Harris faster by car than Lake Deaton? Previous Villages sales maps show footprints for a Publix at Eastport and a Wallmart Market at Middleton. If and when those might materialize is unknown. Groceries in Middleton/Eastport? |

Upside: Walk to Pitch and putt. Nice paths along ponds I walk and ride my bike (gators and tropical birds all the time; sometimes wild turkeys, armadillos, opossum). Infrastructure is great. I get 5 bars 5G everywhere I ride (500 MB/s downloads outdoors). Super close to Florida turnpike. Good tennis community and of course huge pickleball community. I go to Costco and replenish supplies every week or two and make frequent trips down 470 to Publix, Winn Dixie or Ace Hardware (8 to 10 minutes). I have Centric Fiber and pay $65/mo for 1 GB symmetric speeds. I could get Comcast or Spectrum if I wanted too. Comcast just sent a flyer for 1 GB speed for $60/mo with a 2 year contract. Having competition is great. I got a whole-home water filter. I don't know that I needed it, but the water is hard. All my clothes come out clean. I added a gas line for a couple grand (Fireplace installers) and bought a natural gas grill and now I can grill any time without bottle gas hassles. I get to Wildwood Aldi's about once a week in less than 20 minutes and get good value there. And, the neighbors are all new to the area too and want to make friends, so it's super friendly. I like Lake Denham, but I'd sure like a big box store or Aldi's a little closer. Also, I got a lithium ion Evolution D5 cart from Botero in Ocala, in part because there are no gas stations easy to get to with a golf cart. I recommend Botero. I got Dean's for lawn care and they seem reliable and easy to work with. |
