The residents cannot get "control" over the amenities but you do get to vote for the Board of Supervisors for your CDD. You may find the CDD Orientation class useful:

Result..my home here has gone up about 35% since I bought in 2007.while the home I own and rent in SCHH has declined 25% since 2007. I am not trying to be negative, only to present the facts as they are.

So, the term "build-out" is now replaced by "build-away"

The ordinance passed by the Wildwood City Commission uses the phrase "Age Restricted Active Adult" throughout the document. From what I have read over time, this is used to describe what we commonly call 55+ communities.

And who will be voting for these Supervisors? Mostly Permanent residents who will elect them because of their positions . Bottom line if the Morses no longer control the Seasonal residents will lose. The Villages is by far the most user friendly facility for seasonal residents in the world. That is simply why we attract so many and others don't and that is why our home values are much higher.

You should go to the CDD Orientation Meeting if you haven't already.

Yes, 45 mph now.................easily changed in the future.

I think the demand for true Village experience will be there. Buying out in the boondocks with a couple executive golf courses, isn't TV experience.

Guess one should never assume the sales people are not deceptive. Now we understand Brownwood's location. We will simply learn from these things and attempt to look at every little detail before buying anywhere again. There are valid reasons for rushing potential buyers to get the money on the table and not all are related to demand.

Now is the time to correct your mistake...............

The land owners. You need to research the facts as they are, rather than just throwing out a guess.
BTW are you a seasonal resident

Don't be surprised if lots of Villagers feel the same way. Should that occur you can see the prices dropping like rocks.

The news of the new village will have zero impact on my day-to-day activities. Folks from the new development will have Villages access, but I doubt someone will drive to my area to use pools, rec centers, or golf courses. I would be willing to bet the new development will not have much impact on most of the commenters to this thread! The one benefit for the far southern Villagers might be commercial development will be spurred in this area. That would be a good thing....

However, I won't be losing any sleep and will probably continue to get a chuckle from the "sky is falling" post to this topic!

For those of us who lived all our lives in the North (of Mason Dixon OR, for that matter, anywhere else on this planet), the kind of growth under discussion literally everywhere at TV is nothing short of unreal phenomenal... Where market forces appear to rule, more homes, more swimming pools, more rec centers, more golf courses = more commercial opportunities = greater good for all... What's wrong with more? The only thing better than forty thriving golf courses is fifty-one thriving golf courses... They have built it, we have come... Until something changes, enjoy the ride...

How cool would it be if you were able to travel from the Village of Fenney to Orange Blossom by golf cart...maybe stop overnight at a hotel mid way?

Excellent! And maybe we could entice Darrell to open another restaurant near the hotel. It would be great to have a hearty breakfast before tackling the other half of the trip.
