is great. We rented a villa there for three weeks, and found it just terrific.
We haven't seen it mentioned on here too much, so we thought we'd provide a little info for those that might be considering this newer development..
It's on Hwy 27 North of the 192 junction (one mile up), at the 3rd set of lights. (A development that's at lights is a plus for us - the highway can get quite busy at certain times of the day, and we just prefer having the lights to get us in and out. The U-turn spots work well, too..just our preference)
It's a non-gated community, seems to have a good mix of short-term rentals, as well as permanent residents. There's a community pool, tennis courts, volleyball area, 24hour access fitness center, and a 'community room', complete with large screen tv, video games, and a computer with internet access. Also a shuttle service to the parks...thinking it was $8/person..pre booked.
Walgreen's, CVS, urgent care center (which we did have to use, unfortunately..but no wait, they can do bloodwork, xrays, and general health issues. Any worse, and you go directly do emergency rooms)CITGO gas station, pet hospital, Radio Shack, and saving the best for last...
Pasquales Pizza. Yum! Yum, and more yum!
are all right there at the lights...lovely little 5 minute stroll on the sidewalks takes you right up to 'Sunrise Plaza' for all the above mentioned services.
And did I mention fireworks? We were driving back and just as we turned in Morningstar Drive,
KABOOM! There was Wishes! We pulled over and enjoyed...and it never dawned on us that we could probably see them from the front steps of our house every night!! Oh well..next year!
Silver Creek, Woodridge, Sunrise Lakes, Clear Creek, High Grove, Mission Park, Orange Tree, Eagle Ridge, The Savanas, Greater Groves, Trad's Landing...and I know I must be missing a few, have to check the map!...are all right in the area as well.
WalMart is at the first set of lights after the junction...followed by WinnDixie at the next set (Wendy's, Taco Bell, Long John Silver's, and a soon to be opened Burger King, are all along there as well.)
Great area..hope this helps someone in their decision!
