If you want to check out the new "village", pack a lunch, take extra water, maybe a port-a-potty. A map and/or google maps won't do you any good as this is uncharted territory. After you have passed many covered wagons with The Villages logo (that is not a good sign- that many families abandoned their wagons after they wandered for 40 days looking for it) and just when you think that you are close to Orlando, there it is on the left. Don't blink. If you exit and go left instead of the way you went in, you will come out way down south on 301. Might as well goon to Orlando from there. Good luck.

I know. It's a joke. Isolated, desolate, dark roads, outside area not good. Good road for car jacking. Was not impressed with area or prices

468 is 4 lanes 45 MPH except in the construction area that is changing to 4 lanes, no stop signs or stop lights how do you figure it's a good road for car jacking. It won't be long before Buena Vista ends on 468, 301 and 501 are already staked for 4 lanes. When those projects are completed, and they complete them fast, Fenny will have easy access from anywhere. Most of the crime that I read about is up north in the old Villages area. I think you're either a little paranoid or jealous of what is soon to be. Why are you so negative, you're not going to stop the progress or the fast pace at which these homes are being sold. It's the future of The Villages.

You don't have to defend your choice of village to anybody.
Fenny will end up just as good as any other part of The Villages.

Not paranoid , just realistic. Drive out there in the dark and if you still don't get it, don't know what to tell U. Prison nearby also. Isolated, desolate. Wouldn't move there if they gave me house free. Love Sumter area so no jealousy issues. Can't imagine people having a few drinks at brown wood, then heading back on that long dark road. Ask 98% of villagers. They All say too far

[And I do Not have to defend my opinion. I gave many valid reasons I do not like it. Very happy to be centrally located for our active lifestyle

It was not meant to be a defense it was a criticism of unwarranted negativity that makes no sense.

[hulahips]

Unwarranted negativity. Lol. No square, too far out, desolate, isolated, nothing nearby except prison. Unwarranted???

Just trying to help.......

[hulahips]

No problem. We can still be friends. Lol

I remember some thought the same when we looked at house south of 466a. Too far what are you thinking, yet people live there and houses sold. I think there is a village for all. Our oldest is looking at Fenney. He wants the quiet, out of the way, semi remote living. Yet just a few miles away is the craziness of TV. Fenney will be different than other villages, some people prefer that. Since its not my money I have no reason to tell anyoe its too far. I am just glad those that buy there are finding a home they love just like all of us.

Some people are compelled to find something negative about everything.

Some folks like to live in the middle of busy, high density areas. Others not so much. They may prefer to be removed from hustle and bustle. A few may be off their meds or need meds...

This has to rank as one of the funniest, most inaccurate posts I've read on this site. We get it, you don't like Fenney. Thanks for the morning laugh.

Isn't this what people said about construction south of 466 15 years ago or 466A 5 years ago??????
