Well they do offer a couple of things TV doesnt. One if you want to do a VA loan on a new home you can do it. And you have a mailbox in front of your house
We were considering building there but the issue was the area they were currently building in didn't care so much for what was around it. |

Any prior posters that were happy with the TV decision not so happy? If not, why? Thanks.

I didn't read all the replies. We looked at Stonecrest - yes you get bigger lots and bigger homes for the money. If that's your criteria, go for it.
We thought it didn't quite look as well maintained. We didn't like the idea of exiting onto highway 27/441 all the time to do anything. And we are not golfers, we like other activities, and so, TV was the much better fit for us. Best wishes |

Also, you're only "missing out" if you want to be involved in all the different groups, clubs & activities. If that isn't you're thing, then you're not missing out at all. The only thing we were interested in when we chose Stonecrest over TV were the pools. We're not golfers or "group" people. However, if you want to be a part of what amounts to the never-ending summer camp for adults, then TV is absolutely the place to be. There's nothing like it anyplace else. You can schedule yourself from 8am-9pm and be busy all day long if that's your thing. Stonecrest & Del Webb can't compete with that, and I don't think they pretend to. TV is TV and there's nothing else like it..If that's what you want. And..TVs public centers are just that..public. The stores, agencies & restaurants there are all privately owned businesses that are open to the general public. The amenity fees paid by residents do not go to support private business. I would suspect that most people working in these businesses do not live in TV. Does that mean they should not shop there, or buy their insurance there, or see a doctor there?

That's very interesting. Personally, I can't imagine doing that, but that's just us.

[QUOTE=OldManTime;569231]Stonecrest is accessable by golf cart from the Villages, but at the descression of the Villages developer it can be cut off..../QUOTE]
The only way it can be cut off is to close it down completely and deny the the thousands of TV residents from using it to get to Lowes, Walmart etc. by golf cart. You cannot create a restricted access route to the public roads in Orange Blossom Gardens, it's against the law! That's why the gate arms were removed. And a few more corrections: The ten or so championship golf courses are privately owned and open to the pubic and therefore so are their restaurants and bars. The golf cart bridge was built and maintained by the private retail establishments, traverses a state road and it too is therefore public. The nightly entertainment is paid for by the retailers and not TV amenenity funds. It too is open to the public. The two golf cart entrances to Stonecrest to/from Walmart are restricted to Stonecrest residents because our roads are private. And I think it's silly to suggest that the sheer number of pools, club houses, tennis courts is a definative factor in determing the quality of life in a given community. Just saying. |
