However ever should take the time to look around and make their own choices.

All of the amenities you pay for in the north are already in place south of 44, lots of good restaurants within 10 minutes retail shopping is not here and I'm in no hurry to see it come and end up with traffic similar to 441 but unfortunately it will be here when the population will support it.

I personally would stay away from anything near those high voltage power transmission lines.

I must confide that I do not live south of 44 so I do not have any personal experience with what I have said in this post. I have, however, read many many posts from people who DO have first hand experience with all three issues mentioned. Search this forum and you will find plenty of info about what it’s like living near the Turnpike, the quarry and the prison.

so you admit you have no first hand information regarding your comment. Why do you feel the need to speak on something you know nothing about ? h

Flood insurance is available adjusted for flood zone potential

We’re connected to “the mainland “ by the chitty chatty bridge, 4 minutes to a beautiful publix, walgreens, marathon gas, and best of all paisano’s italian restaurant. A beautiful 20 minute cart ride to brownwood (paddock square) via morse & hillsboro & now the newly opened brownwood bridge. Two beautiful rec. Centers minutes away (rohan & aviary) a beautiful new shopping center coming soon (magnolia center) and much much more in the coming years. Couldn’t be happier!😎

how dare you be happy??

Why not? Just passing on information that I had gotten from folks who actually do live close to those areas that were mentioned.

You must live in a very busy and noisy neighborhood with lots of traffic. I have lots of nature, peace, quiet, and plenty of amenities and entertainment, too much to even thing about using and no traffic.

Traffic?? We are close enough to take our golf cart almost everywhere. We are only minutes away and parking is easy breezy.

Noise?? We are on a tranquil water and golf front lot with an amazing view. The birds and ducks are noisy, not to mention the alligators during mating season, but we grin and bear with it.

No, I think pickleball sounds more like: pock, pock, pock, pock, pock....

No one knows to what you are alluding. When remarking on a certain post, hit the “quote post” box in that post. That will put it in your response post as a reference point.

I lived on a championship course for years and know how tranquil they really are NOT.
