I visited The Villages from May 6-13. On Friday, 5/12, I went to Lake Sumter Landing for the BMW club car show. 🚗 No one would let me test drive their BMW. 😂 I went to 2 open houses for new patio villas in Newell...the bond is $23K on a new patio villa...I think I will stay north of 466 if I buy a home in TV. Thank you for the tour of between the 6's.
Loved this! Especially the campaign to get Chief a million+ home, and the tiny planet mode was awesome! 😊 I liked the music choice in this video better than the 1st on this series, seemed more upbeat. Thanks for doing this series, very helpful to those interested in knowing more, seeing and doing more on a lifestyle visit to pinpoint where to focus their search for their future TV home. Keep up the great work! We appreciate it!
Another section of the Villages, thanks Chief. My favorite section will still always be the north section. I didn't realize Bridgeport was all $1M + - nice neighborhood.
I'm sitting in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado researching The Villages. Your tours are so helpful in getting an idea what the sections ("Below the 6s") are referring to and what the areas actually look like. Very helpful. TY.
I totally agree that Bridgeport is beautiful. One of my favorites along with Lake Sumter cottages, Marsh Bend and Harmswood. Although everywhere in The Villages is charming. Just a matter of your personal needs and desires.
I love your videos. Don't be too quick to fulfill your dream of moving to a higher end of town. With God, all things are possible! Following your jeep makes me feel I'm Following a hearse with that all black top.
Enjoy the videos. Keep it up. I got out of the Marine Corps in 1987. Spent some time on a Med Float in 85-86. Could you go over some of the tours you did and maybe talk about the foods you enjoyed while on Shore Leave in different countries.
Possibly! Others have asked me to share more about my life but I havent got in that comfort zone just yet, but probably will down the road, thanks Thomas!
Thank you Chief for the quality video. Constructive suggestion if you wish. Driving the main road for a 30 minute video got redundant. Would love to see more of the housing communities, shopping plazas, and recreation facilities. Thank you again for taking time to share more about The Villages.
Great Job!!!! Can"t wait for the next one. Have you ever thought about a small moving map display in the corner to show your route as you go? Just a thought. Go Army!!
I did think about it, but I spend so much time editing now i was trying to keep it simple, but it is a good idea, maybe I can get an app that records it as I go ro something like that would be cool
I'm surprised by the lack of car traffic, golf cart traffic & foot traffic in your videos. Are you editing these things out for video flow or...... is it a certain time of day? Or maybe it's just me, because I live in California so I notice such things. I agree with the others. Very good video; & yes, definitely monetize. Thank you for your service. I was in the Melbourne area last week & I really love how Florida treats our Vets.
Well during the day it's pretty mellow around here, plus the snowbirds went home. There is almost no traffic here at all in my opinion. I havent edited any vehicles out or anything like that, I wouldn't know how! Thanks so much for watching :)
Another groovy and informative video. Where is the location with the lake and the mock sea village. I believe there is a radio station there as well. Also is there any indoor and or outdoor shooting ranges in the Villages?
The lake is Lake Sumter Landing. There is a big indoor shooting place just outside the villages, I’ve driven by it but haven’t visited it yet. Thanks for watching!
You know, Chief, this section looks so different from the newer areas-- this is so spacious and beautiful. Some of the new sections don't even have enough parking. Until I watched this video, I really didn't appreciate the difference. Bet in the long term, this affects values. Of course Middletown et al will probably change all this. Until watching these videos though, I was a little clueless. Appreciate your efforts.
Thanks for sharing another section of The Villages. I visited a friend in Lake Sumter recently so a few spots looked familiar. The video special effects are a fun addition to your videos. Can't wait to see your million dollar home - - I'm confident you will get there with a little bit of patience.;)
Hey Chief, I just left you a hopefully funny comment on one of your older videos that I hope you enjoy. I'm telling you about it here on the video that you just posted 19 hours ago... just in case you might not read any new comments left on your older videos. I wrote that comment on your video featuring your motorcycle trip that was done 3 months ago. Enjoy !
Hey Chief, this is the second time I’ve watched this one. You’ve convinced me to seriously look at Bridgeport and some of the more northern parts when we are ready to shop for a home. Is it me or do many of these homes (Bridgeport for example) seem to have larger lots?
nice tour. nice neighborhood. knowing my wife she will make me maintain it(got rid of the pool guy and poor Ariel is now the pool guy and I got a big yard) love the stamped concrete driveways and no cars parked in the driveway. Will not get palm trees I have 3 big ones hard and expensive to maintain. nice old trees and grass. do they have fish on the lakes?
Another great video! I really appreciate these because it helps us physically see where certain smaller villages are located example that area with the M$ homes that some have the lake in their back yard.
More Bald Eagles nesting on high tension electric line towers near San Marino/Prado Blvd./San Pedro area - The residential area East of Morse along the big tower lines is the spot and you'll see any nests that are active. You can see with naked eye but binoculars or camera zoom is best. There are two pairs that take up two or three even adjacent towers to raise their chicks each year. Of course not all year long but in the early Spring is best for spotting young. The chicks and young Bald Eagles are brown or grey-brown. The eagles hunt in the big field that is privately owned there.
Love this area you covered, I honestly expected it to be more packed, seems whenever you film, there is hardly anyone around😊so serene. Would you happen to know the name of the last neighborhood you drove through? On the video it was around 18:15, I would like to look those homes up, they seemed a bit larger😊 Thanks for all of the time and effort you put into these videos. Have a beautiful weekend Chief 🙌🏼🌟🙏🏻
Hi Cat, that was Mallory Square and Amelia area, I was half asleep when I edited that video and missed a few details. That stretch has a lot of neighborhoods just like it up and down Morse :)
I don’t hear anything at all in my neighborhood, I was really surprised by that I expected some noise but it’s super quiet where I am, I can’t speak for other blocks but mine is very quiet.
Great insight into the area, but you pay $1million+ for a home in Bridgeport and you don't get a path/sidewalk to get out and about... sort of encouraging car/golf car use.
You can walk the streets around here, was no different than my homes in VA or CA or most other places I lived. I grew up with sidewalks but they seem less common now a days
Heck yes you can have motorcycles, or I wouldn’t live here, I ride a Harley: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Pja5vEeyGkE.html thanks for watching KC!
thats just happenstance Im missing them in my videos, I seem them daily, maybe not a whole lot but more than I expected moving here. Yesterday I was at Sumter Landing hangin out and there where probably 7 or 8 bikes on the square, also there are a lot of trikes here.
