If I can help by answering any questions, just ask. They will break ground in our lot on February 15 and we close on May 10.

The design process is very detailed but well worth the time. Ours lasted 4.5 days.

Welcome! If you're looking for an active and interesting community, you won't be disappointed.

Just seeing this now, so you may have already gotten the answer to your question elsewhere, but the best thing to do is check with your sales person about this as TV has changed over time what can and cannot be done. But I can tell you as of several years ago, you could not get outside installation or do it yourself. I highlighted one of your statements above because that is probably what you will have to do. If your intention is to replace just choose their most basic, least expensive option. They will not sell a house unfinished so you can finish yourself nor will they deal with outside contractors in that fashion. Again, at least that's how it was back then and I kind of doubt it has changed. Changes in what is allowed and what isn't have been known to happen however, so I would contact your sales agent who should be able to verify this for you.

Thanks so much. Our sales person has been helpful and we understand things better now. We took a tour of the design center with her and sure is overwhelming. we have a vision of what we want - saw a model home with many of our ideas/wants so just need to refer to that. Our design appt is not confirmed but think it's week of Feb 26. We'll be a month or two behind you.

Thanks so much Abby10! That is kind of what I am hearing as well.. but I go down on Feb 15th for my first design appointment, and will be sure to ask the question! Getting very excited.. what a fun process (so far!). Will let you know after the design meetings how it went.. but from what I am hearing.. everyone is very happy with the entire process! :-)

We had sold our home in Ohio, our home in The Villages and we had only a few days to move stuff out of our home in Hadley and look for a lot to build on. We found a model we just loved and asked, how much is this house exactly the way it is finished on this lot. They told us, it was in our budget and we said build us one just like this model....and we have been very pleased. It is now SEVEN years. That went fast.

We rented a home here and watched the house we live in go up and it was like a well choreographed ballet. Different skilled crews showed up and did what they do right in order. There were a couple of snafu's we didn't even see but the builder saw, like making the tiler rip out the cap tiles in the kitchen that were not to his liking.

I know people think I have a connection to the builders but I do not. We have contracted to build many new homes in our life and watched our children build new homes and this was the smoothest process of all.

This is good to know, Gracie. I do plan to visit every few weeks to monitor progress and get more excited.

Did not read the above post. Is there an approximate date when golf carts from these new areas will be able to access all TV?

My guess would be two years from now at the earliest to as long as 4 years. The biggie will be building the golf cart bridge across the Florida turnpike.

This is just my guess, have read or heard nothing like it but I believe the bridge on 468 that crosses over the turnpike is more than wide enough to have the surface reconfigured and adding golf cart lanes on either side. They would most likely reduce the speed limit on at least that section of 468 if not all of 468 as in reality it will be an extension of Morse. That I feel would be the easiest way to get over the pike but the next obstacle is getting over or under 44. Two years is probably a good guess but who know, they could start on it tomorrow for all anyone knows.

Welcome to TV. I had a '66 Chevelle SS that could hang with anything; really wish I still had it.

The Developer has already published a map showing where the bridge over the turnpike will be located. It showed it half way between Morse & Buena Vista.

Thanks!

You're both likely correct based on the pictures below. The first one shows a golf cart bridge (not a MMP) crossing the Turnpike just north of Hogeye Sink, the second shows the bridge relocated a little farther north, and the third is from documents provide to the City of Wildwood planning commission for Phase 8A of Buena Vista at 468 which shows the MMP making a left turn on the south side of 468.
With the cancelation of the Turnpike exit at 468 there comes the question of what to do with these nice new extra wide bridges that were build since there are no on/off ramps to deal with now...
