I completed a lifestyle preview visit, and hoping to move to TV. I know most of the new construction has connectivity to natural gas, but I’m looking at existing homes too. I’m just perplexed that no one WITH TV can help with this simple information. I mean they can tell which homes have a certain HVAC unit, or how old the roof is on a home, but they don’t know which neighborhoods they installed natural gas lines in??
If anyone has the name of a contact person with TV that might have this information, please advise.

I think Fenney has Natural gas if you want it. Correct me if I’m wrong?

I think that neighborhoods north of Hwy 466 have natural gas. Most of the neighborhoods between 466 and Highway 44 do not have natural gas, but there are exceptions especially in the ones near Hwy 466 (Winifred, Lynnhaven). South of Hwy 44, Chitty Chatty and Bradford do not have natural gas, but the rest of the areas that have homes do have it. I do not know if any of the other new areas will have natural gas. A Villages realtor would probably be the best resource, especially if there is a home or area that you are interested in.

Sorry but I can't answer your exact question. We do not have natural gas but, along with several neighbors, have installed a PIG (propane in ground) tank and converted our stove to gas along with connecting our outdoor grill. The tank is topped off regularly and has never been an issue in over ten years.
WHERE are you located????????

We’re in St. James just north of 466A and no gas available.

When we purchased that was a major decision maker.

I believe areas north of Bonita Blvd have natural gas. Largo for example does. But around 2007 or 2008 and newer (until you get south of the turnpike), those homes do not appear to. I believe there was a conflict between the Villages and the gas company around 2007.

Drive around and look for the telltale signs of natural gas vents.

Natural Gas
 
I'm surprised the gas company wasn't more helpful. I worked for a utility who operated in Illinois/Missouri and we were required to keep records of where the gas lines were installed. It's a DOT (Department of Transportation) requirement. Gas mains are in the area south of 466A but for some reason The Villages chose not to have them made available to the homeowners in that area. I've noticed pool heaters that are supplied by natural gas and if I'm not mistaken, there is a main line that runs down Hillsboro. When locators are called in to mark utility lines, the yellow marks indicate natural gas mains/services. You may want to check with gas company again and ask to talk to the Engineering Department.

We are in Bonnybrook and have gas connections.

Virginia Trace and Bridgeport at Lake Sumter do have gas. Creekside Villas, which is in between them, does not.

Hemingway South (Havana CC area) which is North of 466A so not all houses North of 466A have natural gas as incorrectly stated above.

Friends of ours are moving into their new home in St. Catherine's and they will have natural gas and electricity supplied by Leesburg.:coolsmiley:

in addition to the responses you have received, you can also drive thru any neighborhood and see if the gas meters are on the side of the homes, usually garage side. In my home i had gas capped off at range and ran a line to the lanai where the fitting comes up out of the concrete pad. At this point you can have installer of your bbq add a nipple and elbow so your line would become horizontal
good luck

Not true, there are a couple villages south of 44 that do not have gas, I believe Chitty Chatty is one of them.

vintageogauge 07-14-2021 01:54 PM
Why not just tell whichever agent you are working with not to show you homes without gas?
