Living in Lake Denham
We are thinking of buying in Lake Denham. Question for the current residents of that area.
Do many people have driveway get togethers? Does it seem too far to drive a golf car to Publix or anywhere else? It currently seems like it is too far from everything except Sawgrass until Eastpoint opens. |

I'm part time in Lake Denham. There is a Lake Denham social club that is/was trying to make room for more members (need a bigger rec center room). There are driveway parties. At least one is supposed to be every month or close to that. It was huge when I went (first one back in February). Everyone is ready to mix and mingle and get together. That is part of a Lake Denham Facebook group. There are 2 groups on Facebook. I know at one time they tried to combine but it seems it didn't happen.
Anyhow, for shopping there is a Publix and Winn Dixie down 470 about 10 minutes. No golf cart obviously but not a bad drive. Publix at Brownwood is about a 30 minute cart ride from Lake Denham. I enjoy that ride. To be honest, the drive to Brownwood in a car isn't much faster, maybe 10 minutes, because of the route you have to take. It's more direct going Megisson all the way. Stuff in Eastport and Middleton will be open before you know it, probably very early next year if not sooner. They are a 19 minute cart ride from Lake Denham going 20 MPH. |

The Lake Deaton Publix is about a 20 minute cart ride from Franklin Rec Center. I live across the street from there in Lake Denham. I make that trek often, and often as a part of other activities that take me to rec centers that get me closer to there. There is a gas station, a pizza restaurant, and my bank there as well as a number of other retail stores I never use. Like someone else mentioned, the options are only gonna grow over the years as Eastport comes online. One of the nice things that may happen is that traffic might always be lighter over by us given that there is currently no reason to come our way other than as a route to get onto the turnpike. I'm very new here (10 days) and that is speculation. But retail shopping is night and day compared to up by 466. I find myself driving up there (30 minutes) as I get things for my home. Haven't started golfing yet but it does seem like many courses will be 30-60 minute cart rides for me.

OP in asking for Lake Denham residents, and their neighborhood activities. Please be respectful, giving firsthand experiences, living in a new area.

The Brownwood Publix is west of Buena Vista, just off 44, west of Brownwood...
