And after 4 months of looking at houses online, reading/starting threads here and our preview last week, we bought in Fenney. (Thanks for all the info.)

The preview visit was a blur. I remember finding gas down by Fenney and our realtor showed us where new grocery shopping was going in. Don't remember where this was. Will it be by the Turnpike and 468?

For grocery shopping now, looks like it is a tossup either going to the Publix by Brownwood or the Publix at Lake Deaton.

Does that make sense?

The Fenney utility sheet showed Comcast and Century Link for cable/internet. Might try going with just internet and stream with Sling or Directv now.

See you the end of May!

Congratulations it really is great living here.

The place is really booming now. Tried to drive past the lot we just purchased yesterday and there were so many construction trucks that we had to park two blocks away and walk to our beautiful lot. It was great to see the water level in the pond is much higher since the recent rains. The developer has done a great job of preserving the giant Oak trees to provide a natural setting. From an investment standpoint, obviously the early purchasers will benefit the most. Shopping will be a little inconvenient for a short time but still won't take me as long as going to the grocery store when we lived in crowded Illinois. If you wait until all the conveniences are installed, the prices will be up significantly, so welcome and enjoy! The Villages knows how to develop attractive neighborhoods and this is the latest and greatest. My wife is especially happy to have natural gas for cooking and has always despised the electric stoves forced on most of the other villages here. It is also much faster to get on the Interstate and to the Orlando airport from Fenney. It will be the third "Village" we have lived in and each move has been rewarding. The tunnels and bridge will be completed sooner than the negative posters think.

Wonder how long it will be before retail stores such as Bed Bath and Beyond, Target, Joann's, Home Depot and the rest of those along the 441/27 corridor will be available to those living so far south. Better question is.....will those retail stores ever be put in place that far south?

No. 44 will never become a 27/441.

Where to go? Get in your car and drive to 44 or wildwood for ANYTHING for couple of years

We bring our happiness or unhappiness with us wherever we go.

We lived in a sought after suburb of Cincinnati, but still had to drive ten or fifteen miles for some things.

Years ago when my kids were small I worked in a supermarket part time the head cashier said that you would never see supermarkets accepting plastic as payment.

I really wonder with the traffic up north here getting increasingly frustrating whether it would bother me to have to drive a little ways to get to things. I really don't mind driving, I just hate the traffic.

Enjoy the serenity Fenneyites - you just may end up with the best of both worlds.

Best wishes, tom_sjc, with your new purchase. There will be plenty of friendly folks to help you out along the way once you move in.

Why, do you really shop that often? Up north we live in the burbs, yet I drive 40 minutes to shop at brick and mortar and eat at a restaurant that’s not fast food.
My shopping is mostly done online, today I spend 15 minutes online and got everything I need for the week, even a piece of furniture, and a new washer and dryer.

Take a breath, all will fall into place. Try not to read the negative about you moving to Fenney. When we bought our first house here, in Pennacamp I heard the same negative comments. Why were we so stupid to by at the end of TV, and we would never get our money out of it. We did sell, and in 3 days so no worries.

If I have to go to grocery I like Lake Deaton.

Henry Flagler was told Miami would never be more than a southern outpost with few people living there...........
