It looks like the 4th square will be going in down by the turnpike on rte 470 near the family area. This is probably years away from being built. Check out Goldwingnut videos to keep you informed of upcoming things. His drone videos are wonderful and very informational

3gen Dev changes north of 466 are very different than what can be done between 466 and 44 and way different than south of 44.
Villagers N of 466 "own" their Amenities which requires the Dev to obtain permission to use the amenities. The farther south in TV the less the Dev gave up control for. So purchase a beautiful golf front home next to a del owned feature, pay your bond and premium price, and if the Dev decides to take away the course or the feature, you have no recourse. V2PW.com isn't a bunch of angry old people, as a matter of fact just the opposite. We are however ensuring that the Dev and the governing city and county ensure due diligence as they hear the proposals for change if use.

I'm not sure you are referring to me making "false statements". As far as I know, the statements I have made regarding the homes south of 44 are very much true. I pretty much just make comments about the fact that the 441/27 corridor of retail stores, restaurants and medical facilities are too far for me to even consider living that far south. I do understand, however, that shopping and restaurants are not very important to many people.

I also make comments to the effect that traveling in a golf cart from south of 44 to the town squares up north would be much too far for me to even consider going by golf cart. Brownwood is actually doable but those villages that are very far south would be out of the question for me to travel in a golf cart.

I make comments that I'm concerned about the influx of more and more people in our town squares and restaurants just as a matter of the rapid growth of The Villages. I surely hope there will be another corridor just like 441/27 so all those folks from the southern end do not go there.

These are my feelings and I honestly don't think of them as "false statements". Actually, they are my opinions. I'm sure not everyone feels as I do so there is that.

Good news that there will be a 4th town square. Bad news it will be so many years away.

I heard from my barber who heard from his sister....
that it will be located next to the new Costco. 🤣🤪

I heard that probably 3 yrs. ago!

We have been there and are looking to move from north to south. Why? Because it is a reimagined lifestyle model that offers a more flexible retirement lifestyle. North is like a very large mobile home retirement community from the 1970’s. South is more urbanized, more active and we think better designed for the next generations of retirees. The current Villages model where you buy a cookie cutter lifestyle and then fit your life into it is redundant and tiresome. The new vision offers better neighborhood designs and more opportunities to live retirement “your way”. It is the future, embrace it.

An update from The Villages

The Villages All New Future Lifestyle Opportunities

We are already going there. As well as Colony Plaza and the area around Lowe’s on 466A. I don’t know where in the south there will be room for another large scale commercial development unless they turn 301 into another 441/27. Or maybe Rt 44. In any event, we like to go out 441 past the Hwy 27 and 441 split. It is easier to get to than going up north on 441/27.

Coleman and Sumterville will be the next commercial corridor, tons of commercial land. Also I would expect Leesburg to add more commercial enterprises as they have a ton of land that will be next to TV. There have been a lot of commercial parcels along Warm Springs where the small older homes are located that have been sold for commercial development, a gas station with mini-mart is going in at the intersection of 301 and Warm Springs and there there is the commercial land owned by the villages east of the Turnpike off Warm Springs. Lots more available that I didn't mention including the west side of 501.

Not sure why all the remarks. Does not matter where in The Villages you live. Are you happy where you are? I know I am. If not then move remember the grass always looks greener on the other side of the fence. But when you look closer you realize it's the same as yours weeds and all. Be happy. Be safe. Pray.

Be better then what we gave now with doctors who don’t teach.

I hope they leave Warm Springs alone.

It's all zoned commercial so you can expect a lot of small businesses along there in the near future. Two medical buildings have already been announced to be built on Warm Springs west of the entrance to Marsh Bend and east of 301..

Fort sumpter anyone ?
Session over

The future retirees south of the turnpike will be less vapid and ignore old dull traditions and superstitions thank to the younger generations being Internet savvy/worldly. They will demand more "Enlightened" entertainment like Casinos and Strip Clubs...Maybe even swim-up bars at the community pools...They could call them "Drink-n-Drown" :)

I heard they will build it just north of the prison.

And I heard the square will be round.

What is OTOW?

:what:
Where to begin?

Yes but that’s years away. The homes in that area of it will be lucrative to buy on Hawthorne village.

LoL ������ ������������������

Yeah the future of more drunks passed out on morse Blvd, drug addicted problem kids living with parents, and very unruly people who refuse to follow the simple rules here! That’s not going to be forward progress if you ask me! I am 58 and avoiding it! People around me behave respectfully!

Yeah homes much closer and no grass or trees is the model! Yuk X 100! Very unruly people down there too and drunks passed out on morse Blvd is not a good look for modern progress! LoL I have seen too much already....

C'mon...Live a little...Its like yer'll just here to complain whilst waiting to die.

So you don’t want “those” people from the south in your neighborhood?

You hope another corridor is developed to keep “them” away from your lifestyle?

Perfect. Just perfect!

I find nothing "respectful" in those comments.

You evidently live in the historic section and see this happening up there everyday. That's where the drug addicted problem kids seem to be according to the on-line news.

And where would that be?

Let’s see you haven’t been to theatre
 

in 30 years but you know that the theater in Leesburg has better seats and cheaper prices, well of course it does because the family can never do anything as well as other places

:1rotfl::coolsmiley:

all i know is i love it here & nobody could pay me enough to go back up north. ever.:boom:

I have nothing against the family and you have never seen a post from be stating that I am, I was answering the snide remark that those living south go to the Leesburg Theatre. I have never been there but have been told many times about the comfortable seating from my wife and others that do go to Leesburg.

This is true.
Besides vintageogauge posts, most of the time are defending that he purchased a home south of 44. There are probably more posts bashing the new area than those who never miss a chance to bash the Developer.

Yes. You have that correct. There is too much growth and not enough retail, restaurants and so forth to support the growth. It's bad enough during the winter months here. I don't complain but do live with it. I was seasonal for a few years before making the move full time. I just can not imagine what the restaurants are going to be like when The Villages is built out.

That was my comment. It was not meant to be a "snide remark" so sorry you took it that way. It was a comment about folks south of 44 being in closer proximity to a movie theater than traveling to LSL or Spanish Springs. Of course, the influx of the additional population being added to The Villages is going to really stress the theaters we have north of 44.

I'm aware that the Leesburg theater has wonderful seating and they also have or had a great $5 movie deal. Our theater in Spanish Springs is getting a make over similar to what Leesburg Theater has but I doubt the Spanish Springs theater will have a $5 deal.

Why, there will be new restaurants.....

Built out! LOL!! That’s a good one! :)
