Guess I'm different, more concerned they're going to build too much on 44 and it's going to cause all the issues that always come along with the extra growth. We're good with living in a bedroom community with the essentials (milk, bread, wine) nearby and willing to drive a little further for everything else!

Welcome to TTOV where there is a law that all threads must branch out.

Hubby goes to Lowes about 10 times a week! (yes , that means several times a DAY!) He has 'lists' - but hey, you always need more!

We go to Sams about every other week, and haven't driven to go to Costco yet (we miss Costco, need one closer to TV)

Does anyone know what will be built on the commercial property at the intersection of 301 & Warm Springs ? Also, the old abandoned trailer homes along Warm Springs and south of Turnpike. I thought these POS homes would be leveled and new stores built?

Not a joke, the guy putting away the shopping carts at Costco in New Jersey told me they were going to build one south of 44

We first looke at homes here in 2000 and the nearest Home Depot was in Ocala. We now have Home Depot and 2 Lowe’s. It will come in time.

I would agree that 23.5% of the salespeople are known for their truthfulness. The rest __________.

They're building a new Costco at Trailwinds. Should be ready to open soon. I heard Villagers will get a 10% discount.

Takes me 5 mins. If that to get to lows on my golf cart.

We also like Costco. Which one do you go to, and is there a particular day or time when you find there is less traffic?
Thanks.
We go to the Costco in Wesley Chapel. We go in the morning during the week and like to get there when it opens.

Only 10%? Bet the developer is getting a kickback.

Have you discovered Sparrs Farm and Fleet at Brownwood? Excellent store and closer than Lowe’s. They have every you would need!

Crappy selection. No Folgers coffee Keurig pods. Rude, lazy staff.

There is a lot of commercial property planned South of 44. To be developed when the population/economics make sense.

Warm Springs may look like 466a some day...

The reason we moved into a developed area is do we have 10 years or so to wait?

Mrprez 08-07-2021 08:56 AM
We chose to live south of the turnpike specifically because there are no big box stores down here. There are plenty close enough. We will be getting a gas station and a McDonalds plus a few other things and that’s fine with us.

I was just at trail winds and saw no evidence of any big store being built. Maybe I was on wrong side (Lowe’s/Publix)

If you believe all of the Costco rumors in this site, you would expect there to be at least 10 Costcos in The Villages by now.

But, they are building a Costco in Clermont. Not a rumor.

Yankygrl, I'm sorry. It was meant to be a joke.
