Ok....why is Brownwood the ONLY square that has a police station located next to the entrance on 44.??? There is a good reason for that.

I get U don't like anything S of 44, civility aside, no need to go negative

We have done 10 years in Duval. Loved it so much we are now moving to Chitty Chatty. Only reason for the move, Duval residents are too old for us, so hoping to fine younger minded people in CC. I have no one to drink with and listen too my music at full volume anymore. That’s not a threat to CC, but rather a wish.

It is located next to the Barnstorm Theater. Are you saying it has been moved?

What is the "good reason for that"? Are you putting down the residents of Wildwood because Brownwood is located within Wildwood?

Heck, the Moyer Recreation Center on Moyer Loop has a Fruitland Park Police Department Annex in it. Do you also think there is a "good reason for that" too?

Boy, that's the truth. Paid off 2 whole bonds on first 2 new homes here. It didn't help recoup anything at selling time at all. Not making the same mistake again, but stuck with a 3rd bond on a resale. So even though exempt from ad valorem taxes, still have an annoyingly huge tax bill every year. Definitely have paid my share to the infrastructure of TV, but getting my money's worth on the advertised "Lifestyle," not even close. It is what it is. I've accepted that.

I guess that the best situation would be to have a winter home in the south Villages, and a summer home in the north Villages.

For example going south would be Sanibel or Gilchrist would be good, or going north would be Bonita or going west would be St. Charles or St. James.

With the shopping we have in our area with Colony, Walmart, Trailwinds and the two squares, I almost never go north of 466. For a golfer, I can reach 8 championship golf courses in my cart in 20 minutes or less, and I've got a great gym in MVP at Brownwood. The homes are newer, most are built since 2010 and the landscaping is mostly done.
I really like Tamarind Groves location.

The new Villages is better in every way EXCEPT for shopping. Stay in the older areas for shopping convenience.

Figure as we get older will want to travel less distance for groceries. Made finding home in older village a priority. Not to mention we sold our home faster than we expected and had less than a month to find house.
