Your posts make me smile. I believe you will be most happy here. Fenney is stunning.

As a "pioneer" in The Village of Fenney welcome to The Villages.

My wife and I will travel to the area today and will spend tomorrow choosing a house plan. Because of my love for cars, we must have a large 3 car garage. Our sales rep did find a lot that will support my garage and we have put a deposit on it.

This is an exciting and challenging change. I look forward to meeting many of you once we are settled next year.

Thanks for all the kind and welcoming words.

Bob

I wonder if the appraised values of properties just outside of Fenney will rise when they too have a water view?

My wife and I just purchased a home in Fenney last week, and like you we will be renting it for about 2 years before moving down from NY. I love all the nice comments here about the area and we can't wait to join all of you! Besides, it's cold here today!

I saw a House Hunters show about two weeks ago that was from Apollo Beach. She was a doctor in her 30's and he was a supervisor at a Pizza Box manufactuer, they met on a dating site. They purchased a birdcage pool home on a canal, I think it was about $700K, he had a boat so that was the reason they moved. The home was nice but everything they looked at seemed dated, the 80's look with pastel colors, gold fixtures, 12" white floor tile. Anyway, they seemed happy.

I guess that's near Sun City below Tampa? From your perspecitive, you've probably seen that area and Sun City is not as great as some think. I always heard it was overpriced, I know somebody that bought a house there about 10 years ago and their amenity fee was about $350 a month.

I have no interest in Sun City Center. There are some new homes there but I will only look at houses with 3-car garages. They are not building any in Sun City so I crossed them off my list about 4 months ago.

Homes on canals can be expensive, you're right. Mine was built in 2013 and is not on a canal.

Thanks. I hope that all goes well for you.

You’re going to love The Villages.

You are also going to appreciate Sumter County taxes over Hillsborough County!

Best of luck in building and moving.

Thank you. My wife reminds me every single day. "When will we be settled?" she says.

You're right about the taxes here in Hillsborough.

since you're new to building in Fenney, can I ask some questions about the process? we too are considering the same, haven't picked out a lot yet but wondering about design process. How do you know what will be 'upgrades' or standard items in the house. We are concerned that things we'd want in a house will end up having the house end up being more $ than we planned......maybe should look for a already built home.
