Not a plesent experience, apart from the danger.
First time it really brought home to us, that there are plenty of not so nice people in TV.

I guess you didn't see the news article about the guy in Fenney pulling a gun on his neighbor over a dog walking issue.

Be careful, the next time it might be in your village.
Has nothing to do with fact it occurred in Fenney. Just another masked bash.

We first moved into Osceola Hills in May of 2016 when there were a lot of open lots. Several times, we saw people letting their dogs run off leash.

Another time, I saw a guy take his dog to the mail station and let the dog off his leash to relieve himself.

Maybe people who are new to TV are used to areas where leash laws are not enforced. Anyway, if I heard of a guy pulling a gun out during an argument over a dog, I would expect it to be in Fenney.

Get the facts before you post "FAKE NEWS". The guy didn't pull a gun, he showed the gun under his shirt, it was not his neighbor walking a dog, it happened within the dog park in The Village of DeSoto where he got into an argument with another dog owner. Think before you post.

Another post by those who don't know the facts. It did not happen in Fenney, he lived in Fenney, did not pull out a gun, only showed it, and it happened in The Village of DeSoto within their dog park.

No we aren't moving there. Just trying to start a positive thread on a REAL place that nice breathing humans live. It doesn't take a house to fall on me to see that starting two threads negative to Fenney should make people ask WHY that happened, rather than my defense of a place that people have picked to enjoy life.

I don't sell real estate. I just feel such sympathy for someone who chose to buy in a new area. It must be either jealousy or it could be someone is an MLS agent that isn't allowed to sell new houses. WHY would people keep hammering negativity where people who post on here have chosen to live????

That is unkind at the very least.

Fenney is a pretty place just doesn't feel like The Villages to me more like Del Webb or others.

Look here;

pictures of the village of fenney in the villages, florida - Bing

I think it's beautiful over there but Fenney doesn't have Rec. centers yet, Live entertainment. (down town) Any thing you want to do for a couple or a few yrs. yet you have to at least go to Brownwood. I know it'll take some time yet!

If I hadn't found a perfect CYV in Sanibel I would probably have purchased something north of 466a, simply because that is the area we first fell in love with, and still feel the same way. For people that are not into the original area, or are totally new to TV, I can see why they would be attracted.

We live in the Village of Charlotte area & I couldn't believe it but it's exactly in the middle of TV. 10 miles to the back side of Fenney & 11 1/2 miles to Silver Lake. I was told TV of Charlotte is one of the most desirable areas to live in. If you check it out you won't find hardly a home for sale there. Unfortunately we just listed our house on 11-26-18. We decide to be closer to our family. Actually there's not a bad place in TV to live.

Well, I guessing with all the places people are from, they're are some people that came from places that lived like that. No matter where you move to, you'll have nasty people, no matter if the entrance signs here do say, "Friendliest City in America". Yea, when I first moved here 7 yrs. ago I saw some guy on a cart that had a car stopped out by Apple Bee's just beating the H _ _ _ out of some poor old guy & his wife's car hood. All I could think was, what an A$$. All I could hear was his Eastern Drawl.

It's a long way from Silver Lake to the Fenny putt and play. Too far for a golf cart. Folks who cannot walk the 1/4 mile from the nearest parking lot are at a disadvantage! This is the only such course in the Villages. A car park should have been provided!

Most people didn't move here to play putt putt and play. They moved here for real golf.

You are correct, as you usually are. However, this is one of the very few times The Villages has failed to take all possible issues into consideration. The one time I played the putt and play I parked away and walked because the houses across the way were still under construction. The next time I go, which will be soon with my 93 year old MIL and my 3 year old grand-daughter, I will will park on the street across the way which is permitted during daylight hours. If enough players do likewise, the residents will make enough noise that the developers will find another solution to the parking issue.

You could ask the Sales Center in Fenney if you can borrow a golf cart.

Seriously... you would rather antagonize and irrate the residents than take a 2 block walk from either the Blue Heron or Sugar Cane Rec Centers?? If you can't walk that short distance, how do expect to walk around the putt and play course?

The sales office offers curtesy rides to and from the Putt and Play via their large golf cars, all you have to do is walk in and ask. The will be no parking solution as all of the land/lots in that area have buildings on them. So, no need to park in front of private homes just park at the sales office and enjoy the ride they'll even provide putters for your MIL and grand daughter. Problem solved, no need to ever complain again.
