Used to be a covered wagon there. I guess those pilgrims decided it was getting too busy there and packed up and headed west.
:ho:

I have not seen these entry points as yet.
If landscaping is your primary concern, don't sweat it.
I am sure there will be some planting there as TV does not want eyesores, bad for sales.

Do not go the Morse circle at 27/441.
There are daily car hits golf cart related incidents.
I completely avoid that circle. Too Dangerous. I put in several recommendations to TV.
Move the cart path down Morse, and get rid of that ridiculous circle. There are already plenty of cart paths there.

I know I digressed a bit.

“Daily” that’s a big stretch.

NW and NE corners look nice and I'm sure the SE corner will as well as they build out that little area between morse and the chitty chatty bridge. And, as mentioned above, something big is going on just W of the intersection on 44 so the SE corner may develop into something nice someday. I'd sit tight and see what happens, it's not in its "final state" quite yet.

The north side of the intersection was very well done. It is not as eye catching since they left large open areas before landscaping begins.

I am sure there is a good reason for it as the developers are very frugal with land management.

The south side of the intersection has no homes until you get to the Chitty Chatty first entrance. So it would look out of place to to dress it up.

I am sure we will see many more changes as the area fills in.

I agree with the OP. The villages owns all 4 corners. Every other major intersection (other then 44) is landscaped beautifully. Any time someone visits the TV how neat, clean and well kept are some if the 1st comments. 44 and Morse looks like ant rural Fl intersection. Clean it up.

I'm pretty sure when it gets bought and paid for by someone we'll either see some stores at those intersection or some homes with landscaping. Not everything in this world can be perfect and there are certainly parts of the villages that I can't stand especially route 441 with all the development of stores and the traffic

You call that traffic? Not from what I'm used to. Long Island, New Jersey and South Florida has The Villages 441 stomping ground beat by a mile when it comes to traffic. I LOVE the 441 corridor with all the retail, restaurants and health care facilities nice and close to home. That is the reason we purchased in Mallory Square; close to shopping and close to LSL too.

Seriously? Daily golf cart related accidents? I use that circle frequently but have never seen so much as a close call with any vehicles. I guess I've been lucky. You know what "they" say......."Better to be lucky than good".

IMHO, the prettiest corner is the NE corner of 466A and Morse Blvd. The water fall is the nicest and grandest among all the corners that have landscape with fountains.

If it ain’t there yet, TV ain’t putting it in. Been here over 10 years and just watching the decline of beauty with this current generation of Morse’s.

coffeebean 10-17-2021 10:53 AM

As I mentioned earlier....the prettiest landscaped corner is the NE corner of 466A and Morse. I don't see anything close to that lovely intersection south of 44 along any main intersections. That is what is missing to me and is the reason south of 44 is not as eye catching and beautifully landscaped as the more established Villages north of 44.

Another cheap shot!

Blah, blah, blah, blah. More of damning of the developers. If you live here and are tired of what the “current generation of the Morse’s” are doing, I-75 goes north and south; go find your utopian oasis.

Nonsense - troll alert…

There are courtyard villas
being built on the southeast side of the intersection. Just be patient. Yet to be determined
