Kelsie.

I wish I could give you a hug. I think you chose wisely. You sure have a lot of great people in the Village of Buttonwood. That doesn't mean you can't come over and sit and laugh with us in Hadley sometimes.

Good for you. Today is the first day of the best of your life.:pepper2:

Gracie---Thank you --We love to laugh We
would be glad to sit down with and just enjoy our new life and old stories lol

We just got back from LSL had a ball --made some new friends---

Looking forward to tomorrow hope to go to the pools in Buttonwood to meet some neighbors


Rich/Liz

I was chatting with a couple of my neighbors tonight and we thought it would be nice to start a Buttonwood Social Club. Maybe we could all get together at least once a month and get acquainted. I am kinda the newbie here, but would gladly work with others to get this going, then we just continue to grow as our neighborhood fills up.
If others are interested ...let's get together.

I'm all for that.

Sounds good to us too! If anything comes of this, let us know. Hopefully we'll be down full time next year and for a couple of weeks the end of October and November.

Count us in---


Going to the pool now to see if we can meet some neighbors

And, that's just what you did. Really enjoyed meeting the both of you. Hope to see you again soon and also meet my wife Phyllis. Looks like Buttonwood is filling up fast.

VJ 1213 said "I was chatting with a couple of my neighbors tonight and we thought it would be nice to start a Buttonwood Social Club."

That works for me... although I'm afraid on our first visit we won't have much time for play. So much to do. Walk through, furniture delivery, more shopping, looking for a golf cart, etc, etc. Should have bok a longer stay. Oh well, I shall return...

I was told that there may be some plans for a social get together on the 2nd Fri. of every month at Fish Hawk...if so and if anyone knows who is getting it together let me know...I will gladly help out if needed.

Hi
My husband bought a house in Buttonwood on Percival Way. We will be moving in On May 22, 2011 when we bought our house we had no neighbors on either side of us and and didn't see anyone living on our end of the street. Does anyone live near 2178?
. Really excited and would like to meet the Buttonwooders also. We are from Pittsburgh, Pa and soon will be a villager.

Pat

What part of Pittsburgh
 

Pat,
What part of Pittsburgh do you live in. I'm from Aspinwall. It will be a few years until I get to The Villages. Until then, I'm just dreaming and anticipating.
Sue

Hi all,
We own a home in the awesome village of Hadley (so close to coffee at McDonalds) but have never lived in it. We have it rented unfurnished because we have to wait until I am 65 which will be in July 2011 ( it's the insurance thing). We were just afraid to miss out on the bubble and wanted to get our foot in the door.
Anyways, my husband was down in April and bought a new home in Buttonwood. This will be our new home in July 2011 and we are so looking forward to it. I don't want to wish my life away but I wish we were there. We will sell our home in Hadley once we honor our lease with our renters.
We are on Allure Loop on the golf side. Ours is the one with the cute turret, which is also called a witches hat (never heard that term before). We are lucky to have my brother-in-law and sister-in-law live on Allure Loop also. You might have read a post about them. They are the ones who found the lily that someone thought had been removed from a memorial bench. They thought it had fallen off a golf cart and when they found out it had been on a memorial bench they promised to replace it when they returned to TV. True to their word they returned and replaced the flower on the bench. We are blessed to have them as family and also a neighbor.
We are coming down to spend a month in Aug to furnish our home. We are bringing some things from up North but will be doing the hustle to do the rest.
We are looking forward to meeting neighbors and just being part of everything there is to offer in TV.
So, if your in the neighborhood and you see the house with the turret and a car in the drive from MA ------Wecome, the beer is cold and the wine is ready to be poured.

We're going to be on Allure Loop also!
 

My husband and I are also going to be on Allure Loop, in a Lantana, on the golf course. We've heard stories that there are only two lots left to build out on that street. Ours is one of them. As soon as our home in IL sells we'll be there and get going. If the IL house is still on the market come fall-we're coming anyway! We can't wait to meet everyone!!! See you soon (we hope)...:wave:

Closing on June 3rd
 

We are closing on our house on Allure Loop on 6/3. We will be moving down at the end of July. Can't wait. Terri and I look forward to meeting everyone.

We purchased a furnished model on Chalmer Terrace and close on June 24. We are moving from Bonnybrook.

There is a really nice lot on the left of our house. We are Unit 162 / Homesite 21. Could that be your lot ?

Nope - We're unit 162 lot 17. But close to you!

We are also building on Allure Loop, lot 13 on the 9th hole. Starting build date around June 1st. T & D is putting in the pool when the house is being built plus outside bar. See everyone in September!!

Where in Illinois?
 

Hello Cricket1 -- Where in Illinois do you hail from? I'm in the N.W. suburbs of Chicago. Quite a few Chicago area people seem to be in TV. Good luck on your upcoming move to TV.:wave:

I have the option on lot 25 on Allure Loop. I hope to begin building as soon as my home in Atlanta sells. It's been on the market for 2 years. I recently had it appraised and my appraiser said the problem has got to be the market because "the house is beautiful, well maintained, and priced right". Oh well, there's nothing more I can do, but wait. :icon_bored:

We're living in a small world, aren't we? My sister-in-law lives in Schaumburg, IL! My husband and I live in Somonauk, IL. Yah, I know---it's about 25 miles southwest of Aurora. (If that helps) Thanks for the good wishes. Can't wait to meet everyone when we come----------

===================
Well, we aren't in Buttonwood, but we are in/from Virgina. We bought a spec on Pennecamp in February. I suppose you might say we are extreme risk takers because we had carefully planned out our strategy for TV, then chucked it all in one mad moment. I am happy to say that we do not have a single instant of regret and we love our new home, even if we can't occupy full time until July 2013.

Best of luck selling your home.

Has anyone moved in on Crestview Street. We bought in February and closed on 31 March. Packing, what a job, down sizing from 2800 sq feet to 1600 sq feet is getting difficult but we are making progress. Will be moving in the end of June or first part of July. It will be a big change for us, big house, 5 acres to a smaller house on a lot. But we are looking forard to all the things to do in TV and not having to take care of some much property.

Sure I've heard of Somonauk, and of course I know where Aurora is. Lucky you to be moving soon to TV. I will be a TV wannabee until some time in the future. I will have to be content with visiting TV a few times a year for a while. :sigh:

Small world... I grew up in Seneca and currently live near Champaign. My sister-in-law is from Hinckley. We will be on Ansley Path in Tamarind Grove come October.

We are building a Gardenia on Bachman Path. The house is almost complete. The two lots on either side are still vacant. Can't wait to walk thru the front doors and call it home. :wave:

We are looking at buying on SEDGEFIELD TERRACE to have a place to call home in a year when I retire-hope to meet some of you in the next year!

Looking for home in Buttonwood to rent
 

We are in the process of moving down to TV and very excited about it.

If you are not ready to move in when your new home is completed, we are looking for an unfurnished rental for a one year period starting mid-October/first November. We plan to rent for one year before building due to all the choices.

The home needs to be a 3 bedroom with a 2 car garage. If interested, please contact me.

Regards,
SUSAN

Newvillagegirl,

Where in Maryland are you from? My wife and I moved from Silver Spring about 18 months ago and just love The Villages.

Unfurnished Buttonwood
 

A match made in heaven. My wife and I are purchasing a home in Buttonwood and the closing is set for the end of June.

The address is 2121 Jordan Street in the Village of Buttonwood. The house is 2,100 sf 3BR 2 Bath. Upgrades include a new washer & Dryer, walk-in Master Bath shower, tile through-out (excluding the Bedrooms), solid surface counter tops (Corian) and a golf cart garage. It is a "Designer" home and the model is the "Holly". If you go to the villages website you can look under new homes and pick house models "Holly". Select one of the Holly's for sale to see a floor plan.

The house is new construction. You would be the first in the home.

I am currently in Virginia Beach, Va but if you want to see the home my sister-in-law lives in The Villages and can help. I believe the going rate of this size home is $1,600 but it would be negotiable. I would rather take less than to keep it empty. Contact me at 757-495-9717 or at gshevock@msn.com

We have lived in Aberdeen or Havre de Grace for the last 35 years.

Buttonwood
 

Welcome to all of you newbee's. We have lived in TV for 6 years and 5 months. Yes, we are one of those snow birds and now proud owners of TWO houses here. Newest one in Buttonwood.
Just a word to the wise - and please please take heed - Before doing any business with anyone contact the Seniors against Crime at the Sheriff dept on 466. I am telling you from experience. I don't care how long a company has been in busy in the area it is a must. There is no one or department that is going around and kicking these fly by nights out. They do not even mention these people in your "Welcome to the Villages" meeting that each of you will go to once you have signed your paperwork.
When researching for new lani's you are not stuck with D & T either. There have been some great jobs done by other smaller groups for a lower dollar amount. D & T is very tight with the builder and does charge the most.
Do your homework please.
Again welcome and get ready for a wonderful life.

We were one or two exits down from you, just moved here in July from Abingdon. If you have recently been up there then you maybe have seen the new huge grocery store called Wegman's being built. It's scheduled to open in September but the new assistant manager bought our home back in May.

I was up your way many times playing golf at The Wetlands or at Furnace Bay over in Perryville. We now live in Tamarind Grove in Southern Star Villas, if you see a black Yamaha golf cart with Baltimore Ravens decals then that's probably me.

Nice to know other Raven fans-we'll have to have some Raven parties before games!!!!
