Thread: communities with best access to I4?

  1. #1

    communities with best access to I4?

    Hi everyone,
    I've seen lots of beautiful villas and have finally narrowed down my choice to about 5! I was wondering if anyone could tell me which of these communities would be most convenient for getting on to the I4 (or is it all much of a muchness)? We reckon we'll be spending quite a lot of time at Universal and Sea World, so are looking for the shortest drive time to there rather than Disney. The villas I'm looking at are in:
    Westridge
    West Stonebridge
    The Abbey at Westhaven
    Legacy Park
    Indian Ridge

    Any hints and tips gratefully received!
    Many thanks, Louise

    I would imagine that The Abbey at Westhaven is the closest from your choice of locations, although there are other communities even closer. The exit closest to this community would be 58.

    Have you had a look at the commuities map on the site, might help you get a feel for where the communities are.[msnsmile2]

    Many of the communities on the CR54 are only 2/3 minutes to the I4 - exit 58 at Championsgate.

    Our villa is on Southern Dunes Golf & Country Club which is south on of the I4. We use the I4 for nearly all our trips to the parks even to get to 192 as it is so easy!

    I have a home at The Abbey yes it is the closest to the I4
    But so is The Sanctury
    But to be fair to all villa owners in the area
    There are so many communities around Champion Gates and the difference between then is minutes
    In the scale of distance does it make that much difference if a community is 3 /.4 /or 5 minutes away
    from the I4, by the time you arrive at Disney parked the car the slight variation in minutes won't make the slightesr difference

    I agree with barbara. I know all of the communities you have mentioned. We own on West stonebridge and have just bought on Legacy Park. I have stayed in West Haven. They are all lovely communities and all within a few minutes from each other. Go for the villa you like best. If its another 3-5 minutes it really doesn't matter, its what suits you and your family that matters more.

    Hi Louise

    Most of the communities on the CR54 are just a couple of minutes from the I4.

    Our villa is located on The Abbey at WestHaven and we find it very convenient for getting on the I4 and going to Universal and Seaworld. With our children getting older they now seem to want to spend more time at Universal and especially Islands of Adventure than ever before. SeaWorld however still remains my favourite - especially the 'Shamu Rocks America show'.

    I own in the Sanctuary at West Haven, but all the West Haven communities are the nearest to I-4 currently, but Reunion will soon be, along with a new development by ChampionsGate - trouble is that if you get much closer to I-4 you get more tyre noise at night, until the noise abatement procedures have been put in place in the next year or so.

    I would also say the Abbey at Westhaven, we are on the Sanctuary too and we love it as there is very little traffic around the Champions Gate area.
    Have a great time
