Paradise Rec Center used to have a restaurant and bar before the Rec Center was remodeled.
Do any Rec Centers still have restaurants? . |
Chuck, not that I know of, although some do have kitchens of some sort for catering, large functions, etc.

I think all the new ones have kitchen centers for catering. I know the new one in Buttonwood (Fish hawk?) has two kitchens that serve two large function rooms. |

There are hot tubs at three country club pools ... Orange Blossom, Hacienda, and Glenview. But, you have to be priority golf or tennis or have the pool only membership to use them
The Southside pool, on the historic side is the only amenity supported pool with a hot tub/jacuzzi that is available to all residents and their guests. |
Changes came actually in March of 2003, because my house in Tampa, had to be held up while they made design changes to conform and get them them through the County, here.

Village location
The three most mportant considerations for buying a home are location, location, location. I moved here in August 2006 and cannot tell you the number of people I have met who have purchased a home and moved again to another location in TV. Name a reason for doing so and I probably heard it said. All these theories and rationales as to why I located to this part of town or this Village. Of course it all boils down to personal perference. For me buying in a time when TV was not as negotiable as it is now I made it clear what I was looking for and my saleswoman located it to the letter. so my advice for those on this thread still looking for a place is to choose carefully and if you have people living in the neighborhood visit with them. The Villages built out will be 32 square miles I have found no matter where you live there is a pool, rec center town square or golf course near by. If I had to chose ne prefeence it would be my neighbors and in my case the neighbors are truly good fun loving people. Finally I have say north or south east or west the women in TV are gorgeous.:thumbup:

Personally, I found the better deals on homes are North of 466. I bought about 18 months ago and purchased a home built in 2002 in Glenbrook - backing up on Glenview golf course. I was able to negotiate with the seller, the home had everything we wanted plus wonderful upgrades. Being an older home, the bond remaining was very, very low. I saved well over $200,000 from buying a similar new house with a similar view - including the much higher bond.
However, you cannot go wrong buying a home anywhere in The Villages. As far as the location of the most beautiful women, it will be wherever my wife happens to be standing - and I hope that will be next to me forever. |

Ok, I guess I will have to settle this North/South War
North now has
sweet tomatoes Aren't you all glad I joined the TOTV family...giggle, giggle, snort, snort It took years to develop this attitude.....Nah, Na, Nah, Na, Na, Na!!! My mother would not be proud of me now!!!!! |
rt 44
I think you mean 44 - they are not selling homes right now southof 466a. the next areas will be south of 466a and north of 44 . i believe most people are afraid of Wildwood, because of talk! We have crime in all of the villages but it RARELY is reported in the Daily Sun which people call the "happy paper"
there have been burgleries, when people have been home or not. golf clubs and or carts stolen, domestic battery, armed robbery of retail stores, we even had a murder! This is not utopia! it is a town of 80,000 + people and you have to be aware. |
[QUOTE=AnonChick;300618]I got lost enough in my week's visit last week, to be able to run my golf cart into the wall of just about every rec center and down the steps into every pool in the Villages. I can assure you there are plenty north of 466. However frustrating it may be to only -have- a week, and be instructed that it takes at -least- a month to learn your way around...and spend most of your travel time being lost...it was actually the absolute best way in the world to see all the neighborhoods.
We found that out on our visit too. It did get easier to get around as they days passed. There was always a friendly villager to help giude us :) |

Golfnut - some of the country club pools north of 446 have hot tubs. Orange Blossom Hills and Hacienda Hills have them and I think Glenview does too. You need to be priority to use them. Orange Blossom has a beautiful waterfall too and the pool is large.

Villages North.....
llaran like that you have not been overcome by the disney dust spread by some. Built out this development will be in excess of 102,000 plus renters, guests and business people doing business in TV. There is no question that TV has many fine qualities. But I find whenever someone speaks to issues that need correction or are unfair some residents view such complaintants as being naysayers, negative, etc. I take the opposite view I want to hear their concerns because they may well have a point and by seeking its remedy perserve the Lifestyle for which we paid a premium. What is especially tricky is our form of government and we all have an obligation to maintain a watchful eye on what our representatives are or are not doing.:police:

Saturday Night Like Skit - Hot Tub
Quote:
One minor disadvantage about our living in Rome, Italy for the next 18 months is that when I click on your link for the Hot Tub skit I get a message that the streaming of Hulu is not permitted outside the USA. I am guessing the clip is the one where Eddie Murphy does his James Brown impression. I guess we can wash away our sorrows over the loss of Hulu with another glass of outstanding Italian Red....
