Terre Verde

[eclipsed]

Does anyone know the exact location of the Terre Verde community? I've been told its behind Lake Berkley and is it within walking distance of the 192

Hi Eclipsed, welcome to the forums. Terra Verde is a new community currently under construction and is located on Poinciana Boulevard, not walking distance to 192 ,but then given the heat and the lack of sidewalks not many communities are really within walkable distance.

Hi Lynne,
The entrance to Terra Verde is closer to Indian Point and Eagle Point on Poinciana Blvd. and although the development does back onto Lake Berkley landwise, the entrances are probably 5 mins. drive from each other. Both are Park Square Homes developments(Terra Verde being a couple of years newer), Both are designed on the "resort" style with clubhouse, pool & spa facilities and have security gated entrances. Both have pool villas and mediterranean style townhouses. Of the two , Lake Berkley is within "walking" distance of the US192 shops and a big 24 hr. Walmart but as Lesley says, there is a distinct lack of footpaths in Florida and often the shops and malls just have rough ground between them which is not condusive to walking. Lake Berkley also has a large spring fed natural lake (hence the name) with walking and bike trails and fishing jetties. Clubhouses on both sites have well equipped fitness studios/ pool tables and lounge areas and internet connection.

Regards
KevinT.

thanks for the advise ,a few years ago we stayed on Country Creek ,really like the location,and were able to walk down to Wal-Mart,but there doesn't seem to be any villas larger than 4 beds in the vicinity. I'm afraid to admit I don't like driving on the 192,this time we have a 12 seater minivan ,which will be a challange.[msnsmile]

Hi Eclipsed

I share your feeling about the 192, I love driving in Florida but that road, especially its uturns scares me [msnembarrased] have you considered staying elsewhere in a sub division that doesnt require use of the 192 to get access to the Parks ? The CR54 area comes to mind as the most obvious one, I4 access to all parks and the 192 close at hand if you do decide to visit for an evening without it being obligatory whenever you get the car out. Most sub divisions on CR54 would ake around 10/15 minutes to reach Disney and around 20/25 for Seaworld and Universal.

You don't need the 192 to get access to the parks from Terra Verde (or anywhere else on Poinciana Boulevard) actually!

Hi Sue
No my partner Drew took the photos whilst we were out in April 2004 looking to buy. We didn't buy on Terre Verde as they only had the townhouses left and lovely as they were, we had our heart set on a villa.

Must have stood in the same place as me when I took similar ones that is why I thought that some of them were from a TV website I posted them on. Obviously they are not as you are not TV owner. Still great of you to promote community even though you are not. Thanks
