Default Mr. and Mrs. Russ_Boston are now proud TV land owners!

Took us all of 4 hours this morning to find a lot that fit our needs. On Abbey Way in Buttonwood. Kind of a corner lot, kind of a cul-de-sac lot. Big enough for a really nice side pool configuation with sneak peak to Bonita Pass Golf through one layer of homes. The lot had been sold but opened up yesterday.

We'll be building in 6 months or so.

I guess we are no longer virtual residents!!

PS> Anyone who wants to play golf or pickleball or anything over the next two weeks let us know. We thought this house buying thing would take most of our time

Congratulations! Sounds to me like you found the perfect lot to suit your home choice and needs. Before you know it, you will be staying in your own home in The Villages.

Good for you, you must be thrilled. It is a nice area, we take evening cart rides around there all the time.

Welcome to TV!

Congratulations Mr and Mrs Russ_Boston on your lot purchase. When my wife and I purchased our lot in November I thought it would take more time than it did. However, if you have an idea of what you want in a lot (we wanted a corner lot big enough to have a golf cart garage) there are only so many lots available at any given time that meet your criteria. It only took us a few hours to find a suitable lot also.

Congratulations Russ and Linda on your speedy purchase. Sounds like a fine lot. It is obvious that the time you spent planning and doing research has paid off.

Default Wow

Great news Russ! Congratulations to you and Linda! Now the fun REALLY begins!

Our visit last week to TV was great but we left homeless (after a short 3 day stay) but with a great idea what we want! We're now in high gear to put our home on the market and visit TV again in August... hopefully to seal a deal too!

HAVE FUN!

Yey, Russ and Linda!!! Congrats to you both. Boy, that sure didn't take long. Now you've got the rest of your trip with all this time to play, play, play...

By the way, what model house did you select???



No more winters for the "Bostons"
