I have Private Messaged you with LOTS info and links about Chitty Chatty.

I'd like a link to a map of the golf cart paths? Does that exist?

Forget the maps because the new villages usually aren’t on them for about a year after the area is built. Best way is to drive the area. I’m sure you know Morse Blvd. Drive up Morse and cross over rte 44 ( you will know it when you look to the left and see the new golf cart bridge) . After you cross over, Chitty CHatty will be on the left about 1 mile down the road . The others are all in that area after you cross over the turnpike. A few are on 501 which is at the light but they are all in that area. Good luck

For a beautiful video of the whole area you want Don From Gold wingnut put It on his monthly video . Describes the whole area you are looking at this month from his drone. It’s on YouTube

My realtor told me it is in the plan that marsh bend, monarch grove etc with eventually be the middle of TV..

Key words here “should be “. Don’t believe anything the sales people tell you regarding future development. Their number one mission is to sell, sell, sell. I’ve lived in Fenney for 2 1/2 years so you know where I’m coming from.

Careful, there are lots of people on TOTV that don't believe anything a sales rep says about the timing of future development south of 44.

We walk around there a lot. We think Bradford and the other villages south of the turnpike will be much more desirable than Chitty Chatty.

If you are looking for a building lot close to Brownwood, there aren’t any. At some point they will open lots for sale closer to Brownwood (just across rt. 44) but Chitty Chatty is a long way from Brownwood by golf cart or car. It is going to be close to Lake Deacon Plaza for grocery shopping, gas, etc.

Go to the villages website. thevillages.com. Click on “our homes”. Then “search homes”. A nice map will come up with the Villages you’re looking for nicely labeled for you

Isn't Bradford North of the turnpike? We like the access to the new bridge from Chitty Chatty area.

This is what I'm trying to figure out with the maps. I'll be in TV for only 4 days so I must do as much homework, before I arrive, as possible.

I think The Villages App on your smart phone is the easiest way to get around The Villages by car or golf cart.

The map that the realtor is sending will be out of date as soon as they drop it in the mail. They will just have the general outlay of the area. They don't keep the building lots up to date on paper, there's no way they could with how quickly things move. The building lots are all on the website. All you have to do is zoom in and they will show up, including the prices. Sometimes you have to zoom way in for the lot to show if its available.

As I mentioned in another reply, go to thevillages.com Click on "Our Homes" scroll down and click on "Search Homes" A nice map will show and the villages you are looking for are clearly labeled. Simply zoom in. Unless you are face to face with a villages realtor who has access to the minute by minute transactions taking place, this is the only way to get the latest information on the building lots.

Best to see the lots in person cause some may look good on the map but they don't show the ugly structures nearby such as the huge wire towers that will be out the front door or lanai.
