I think upper Buttonwood would be reasonable to LSL. Up Bailey to BV to Stillwater and right up Canal to LSL.

The middle of Bailey to LSL is about 8 min. I did it umpteen times last May. So I figure another 6-8 down to Buttonwood on Bailey. Just my 2c.

Default The Villages of Buttonwood

Hi, We just bought a house in the Village of Buttonwood on Percival Way. Does anyone know about this village? Is there a social club where we could meet people that live in Buttonwood. We are from Pittsburgh and soon will be a Villager.

Yes there is a social club and Buttonwood when TV is finished will be in an ideal location between Lake Sumpter Landing and the New Brownwood town square. The social club has a meeting every month. You will get notice of when and where. We've been in Buttonwood one year now and by the way my roots are in McKeesport Pa. In my opinion Buttonwood is in a very desireable location. Let us know when you move in.

You are retired...10 mintues, 20 mintues. Its all good.... Mind set needs to slow down..retirement is a journey, not a race....We just bought a house in Buttonwood and like the quiet location.....we are on a very quiet street, our house is one away from a dead end.

Hope you decide to buy in Buttonwood. When when came down in July we fell in love. I love the location. We move in a couple of weeks.
I think you would be happy anywhere in TV. I just got an email from someone and they said if your not happy here it is your own fault. I know we will be very happy. If you would like to stop by in JUne please PM. I can't wait to have visitor's

I think that might be a little bit optamistic. I live in Poinciana which is closer to LSL than Buttonwood and it takes me about 11 minutes to get the LSL. I think from Buttonwood it probably would be closer to 20 minutes, probably a little bit less.

IT actually takes me 14 minutes @ 21 mph for Sumter and a few minutes longer to Colony. Again, it makes a difference the location of your house. I live near The Fishhawk Rec Center. If your house is closer to St. Charles, it could take a few minutes less. My friend lives in Poinciana which is just the other side of the St. Charles/ Bailey Trail intersection and is 1.7 miles away.

Gracie, I must have said something to offend, didn't mean to, so I removed it. But I quoted you Gracie when you mentioned that the new center in Buttonwood looking like a log cabin and the street named Appalachia, and I just watched Deliverence on TV and I mentioned something about Dueling Banjos, Sorry if I offended anyone.

Where is the best place to buy a golf cart? The villages colf cart store or outside the villages. We are looking for a 4 seater. We want the one that the back seat folds up and it has to be gas.

Surprised it takes that long Tom. From my house on Abbey (by way of Pennecamp) it is just under 4 miles to LSL. But I guess with stop and starts it might take 12-14 min. In any event Buttonwood isn't as far 'out there' as many think it is. The far western reaches of Buttonwood might be another mile or so.

Maybe you have one of those high speed carts. My cart goes 21 mph. I'll clock it today when I go into town. It's possible the time might be a little less. FYI- My time estimate was to the center of the square. It would be less if the clock stopped as soon as I hit ToJays and The Golf Cart Store on Canal.

Hi neighbors -- I live waaaaaay out on Buttonwood Run, have a cart that only goes about 21 mph and I timed it as about 12 minutes to LSL yesterday. Don't know where I was at the time I determined the 12 minutes were up, whether Toojays or the center of the square. But the ride is SO beautiful, it doesn't seem like that long anyway and I agree with others -- Buttonwood is a great place to live.
