What and Where is Unit 84? It’s a new section of houses in The Villages that’s unlike anything we’ve seen in several years. I’ve included a quick history of the different home types here in The Villages that I hope you’ll enjoy as I introduce Unit 84.

I’ve also included a tour of the new Franklin Recreation Center in Newell, there’s a new Then-And-Now segment where I take a look at Bradford and Hawkins and how that area has changed. There’s a brief look at Moultrie Creek, Shallow Creek Championship Golf Course, and the VPSD station 84 location. There’s a look at Middleton and Eastport, as well as 7-11 and CVS at Magnolia Plaza. I also looked at the Hacienda Hills area under construction.

Enjoy,
Don

Thanks, Don. Very interesting. Very informative.

Another great video. Very informative! While watching your video, I look at the Feb. 2023 Continuing The Dream map to figure out where you are.

You said that permits have not been pulled, but what will be built on the corners of Warm Springs and Meggison? I thought a rehab facility is targeted for one of the corners.

Kind of disappointed Unit 84 isn’t some sort of UFO location.

That's at Bugg Springs.

Awesome work Don, very informative and professional as always, they just keep better!

Any hints on when/where to there might be connectivity to the bridge from west of the Turnpike?

Don, the most surprising thing in your video is the small golf practice area at the new Middleton high school.

It looks like a putting green and two sand traps to practice bunker shots. I have seen a lot of people 'skull' practice sand shots and send the ball flying over the green and endangering other people. It must have been a non-golfer who designed that practice area.

Best guess is just before the schools open in August.

Yes, a medical/rehab has been announced, the property is all designed for commercial development.

If find it amazing that there haven't been more CTD episodes to come out in recent months, as you mentioned Feb23, that was the last one. over 4 1/2 months since it came out. Even then, the last 3 have been minimal information at best.

These are great informative videos - I drive by the new 7-11 everyday on my golf cart - I actually saw several people go inside a few days ago to do something. Since, it has been empty again - no one seems to know when it will open.

Too funny! That was what I was hoping for too!

Thank you. This was very helpful. I am evaluating whether to move to FL from NV.

It is my understanding those practice facilities are for the high school golf team, along with indoor practice bays with shot trackers. My guess is the high school will be producing some high caliber golfers in the years to come.

Really enjoyed the video. And the Unit 84 piece at the end was quite interesting. I wondered about the lack of premier homes south of 44 when there were premier villages and neighborhoods and even a smattering in the family sections to the north.

They will probably sell out quickly.
