Moving to Fenney

There is a spec home in Fenney for sale now with a 4 car garage. My husband was drooling, but alas we picked out a different model with a more private view. Close on our home in Fenney April 13.

Do you mean the Zinnia at the corner of Fenney Way and Pearl Crescent? Great garage but not the best lot. Ours is a very private view as well. Close May 10th.

We too will be moving to Fenney - in the process of selling our place.

Last week I spoke to a sales rep at Sumter. She told me that 35% of the homes sold in Fenny are purchased by Villagers. That's interesting.

I noticed in a recent new homes ad section in the Sun that the higher end homes in Pine Ridge, Pine Hills, and La Belle are featured. I wonder if that means inventory is about depleted. Is so, full speed ahead for the new south.

Dave, please don't move to Fenney. I would hate to have a neighbor be unhappy.

A friend of mine just bought in Fenney and was told that one bridge would be completed next year and a second bridge would be completed in 2020.

I don't know which bridge will be finished first and I was told by an agent in Fenney that there will be three bridges.

Good attitude. Our next door neighbor sold his home quickly and moved to Fenney just three weeks ago. They wanted a smaller home and needed to have a home once again in the Midwest as times change. They love it and I can see why.

We were dissed on this forum seven years ago when we built our new home in a previous farmers field along 466 in an area that bordered on swamp and golf course and a noisy busy road. We love living here and think we made such a lucky decision.

I cannot think why anyone would put down another's village choice, except they are anonymous. There are pluses and minuses to every life decision. Fenney is beautiful, and has many really nice people who post on this forum frequently.

Fenney guy, you have chosen well, and many of us wish you joy and happiness in your new home.

I have heard that on average, a Villager will move three times. This probably means they move from their preretirement home into TV, then twice after that.

I have heard that too. I doubted it for years. Now I'm inclined to agree. Finney would not be a good fit for me but after hearing how many Villagers think it's a good fit for them has certainly swayed my opinion.

Did the rep by chance mention, or know, what % of the homes purchased by current Villagers were to be owner-occupied...versus rentals/investments?

During our Trolley ride 4 1/2 years ago we were told there was NO crime in The Villages. Yep, no crime. Sounded too good to be true so I investigated. Every potential buyer must do their due diligence and decide what’s best for them. Trust no one, check everything.
