We're not on Baisley itself but moved onto Endicott Way back in September, just off of Baisley. The neighborhood is new so one advantage of buying now is that everyone is moving it at roughly the same time which means that everyone is motivated to make friends quickly. The construction is very nearly complete so no more dust or construction vehicles now.

The postal station, pool, rec center are all close. Colony Cottage shopping is fairly close.

On the negative side, all car and golf cart traffic has only the one entrance and exit down Baisley onto Canal. Also Canal has the traffic light rather than a traffic circle so it can be a time waster. It's easy to get to Sumter Landing by golf cart although a little farther than we might like. On the plus side, it will be equidistant to the 3rd town square once it gets built south of 466A. Also, it is easy to get to the Post Office, license bureau, Ace Hardware, and other shopping in Wildwood by going south to 466A.

Good luck on your house hunting decision and hope that you will be a neighbor soon.

regards.... Barry

Information
 

I live near 466A and just thought some of you would like to know that if you take 466A to 301, turn right -- you can take 301 up to 466 faster than one of the Villages main streets. No roundabouts and the speed limits are higher.

I always to that when I zip up to Wal-Mart or that end of 466. Not really shorter, but much faster.;)

This is a great suggestion. Buena Vista and Belvedere are very congested this time of year.

We live in Winifred, which has only one car entrance. And just purchased for the in-laws in Bonita. We see the one entrance as an advantage. It really cuts down on the traffic in the neighborhood.

The in-laws were here for the holidays but were unable to stay in their new home as it is rented :sad:. They had big hopes they could stay several nights there as the renter bought the house right next door and settled on the 22nd of December. Unfortunately he did not vacate until the 30th.

They did get to see the inside and all the furnishing we had gotten. They cant wait to come down full time may first and start enjoying the Villages lifestyle. :pepper2:

We moved to Derringer Avenue off Baisley in mid October. It's a nice area and conveniently located. The one entrance may be a little hassle getting out of occasionally, but I think it's easier getting out of Baisley than out of Chapman Loop which is in Hemmingway right by the gate and Havana.

Neighbors all seem to be real friendly. Our street has already formed a social group and there is also a Village of Bonita group that meets several times throughout the year.

Jeffy's in-laws will be practically in my backyard and I look forward to meeting them :welcome:

Jeffy, by the way, I assume you are aware that some furniture which had been on the lanai is all of a sudden no longer there? I noticed that this morning and said "what the heck?".

Wow, thanks for the lanai update. I just called the renters and they were amazed that I knew it was gone. They had moved the table inside to use as a dining room table so they could watch TV while they eat. We did furnish them a nice kitchen table to eat at, but guess they really like TV.

Poor people. They probably think Big Brother is watching them! :shocked:
