Nothing sinister. Were you looking for something more?

They cannot have open houses so they are advertising more on paper now. I doubt that there are more used homes for sale then 2 months ago.

Actually, the main thing I have against Chitty Chatty would be having to pull out and turn left onto Route 468. I really hate having to turn left onto a 4-lane road without a stop light.

How about a little respect for Native Americans who called the area home.
Chittee Chattee was an Indian Chief who lived there!

Also the name of "CHITTY CHATTY CREEK"

Whatever its origin the name reminds me of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - Wikipedia

Goodness. Is that really how you think of your Village neighbors in the historic district? I didn't realize that having a garage made one a better person.

Everyone is moving south of 44. NOT!

I've already read another post explaining that, yes, one has to go outside to do laundry. I have no idea why the family decided to go with carports with an outside laundry. Not my kind of dwelling, sorry to say.

Chitty Chatty is interesting because the lots are very different. Some are great but others were not. In some cases, there would be a LOT of space between houses. It made it interesting to look at the houses and critique them.

The walking/biking path around the large lake is very, very nice. We thought it was smart to have the MMP follow the power lines so the carts would not be speeding close to the homes.

We followed the MMP north until we got a very good view of the place where the new bridge will cross Route 44 and it looked pretty crazy. The new bridge will be high, and when the MMP comes downhill from the bridge it will take a sharp left turn, which could be dangerous.

This is the fourth time we have walked through C-C and it looks better each time.
Drove around Chitty Chatty and couldn’t find the patio villas you we’re describing. Where did you park in order to walk?

People will buy anything regardless of price. A walking path on the other side of the water. No thanks but to each their own.

A new area for everyone to complain about how bad it is/will be. Fenney area is getting a rest.

Finally, it took 3 years though. I assume it will start back up when construction starts in Fenney Grove.
