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:

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!!

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----------

Of course selling the house in Virginia is a must. Just keeping my fingers and toes crossed. We even brought sand from our lot in TV and poured it around the base of our "For Sale" sign. We've heard that is the magic needed. Would like to get acquainted with now and future Buttonwooders. Our home will be on Harding Path at the bend in the road after you pass Quiet Oak. I am taking notes each time I read post esp. concerning contractors etc... because after we close on the house we will be enclosing the lanai as an additional room and putting in a pool. Thanks to all TV's for your recommendations.

===================
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.

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.
