I found another document that shows the "big picture" for the area north of CR 468 and west of the Turnpike.

-- The street serves only this triangle-shaped area. Presumably, a street on the east side of the turnpike (not shown here) will connect Buena Vista with CR 468.
-- The golf cart path in this area will cross over the Turnpike. Presumably, it will then go northward to cross over Rt 44 near Buena Vista.

I love the idea of the folks driving down the turnpike and looking over to see a road full of golf carts.

Has anyone noticed that many of the front yards and thus driveways in Fenney seem to be shorter than in other areas of TV such as between 466A and 44? The houses crowd the street. I am not referring to villas. Maybe there are other areas in TV with similar house to street length.

I don't know what is typical, ours is 31 feet long.

All depends how much
Infrastructure is running near
the curb. Our last house had the water main, gave us an extra 8’ for the driveway.

The houses as pictured on both sides of Spider Lily ST in Fenney have driveway lengths of about 25 FT. which is at least 6 feet shorter than mine and others on our street in Lake Deaton.

The new builds on Heston PL, Leggett LN and other roads in this picture have driveway lengths of around 23 to 25 feet. So again, the widths between houses facing each other across the street are much less that I am accustomed to in Lake Deaton. The one green circle driveway has a length of about 28 feet.

While I like a larger separation, it will not be a deal breaker for many.

Two open houses today on Spider Lily St one is a Boxwood from 9:30 to 11:30 and the other across the street is a Santa Rosa from 11:00 to 1PM . See if you also notice a different character of the street with the houses being closer to each other across the street.

Thumbs down Less Property means More Homes !!

I feel the decision makers are shrinking the postage stamp properties in an attempt to get more homes.

I like everything about Fenney except this fact. If this is the Morse Family under the direction of Mark Morse, feel he might be shooting himself in the foot on this one..

These homes are priced accordingly and there are some super deals available. In todays paper there is a re-sale Ivy model with a wall in the back yard in Oceola Hills listed at $569,000, this model has Laminate floors but also has some nice upgrades. You can buy the same house in Fenney on the water with with all tile except bedrooms for $417,000 and if you want one with a wall in the back it is I believe $386,000 and again all tile. That is a huge difference in price even with the upgrades. That is just one that I happened to notice in the paper. There are a lot of Designer homes in the 2000 sq ft. size range with pools and water views that are priced in the mid 400's in Fenney.

I also noticed the pricing of the Fenney homes as being very competitive. See my posting about the Bridgeport here->
A good deal for someone!

There are probably many factors that come into play with the pricing of Fenney houses. If people don’t mind a possible smaller lot, a wait for golf cart access to the rest of TV, and a lot of construction activity, the Fenney pricing structure will influence people to purchase a house there rather than a resale.
Plus, some people just prefer new.

If and when golf cart access is complete it will still take close to an hour to get to LSL from Fenny. Brownwood gets tiring very quickly.
