Neighborhood Spotlight: Fenney — A Hidden Gem South of 44

When most people think of The Villages, they picture the bustling town squares and packed recreation centers north of Highway 44. But just a short golf cart ride south, the neighborhood of Fenney offers a different kind of Villages experience - one that prioritizes peace and quiet without sacrificing access to amenities.

Fenney features a mix of villa homes and single-family residences, many with conservation views and generous lot sizes. The neighborhood's recreation center includes a heated pool, fitness center, softball field, and a growing number of pickleball courts that have become the social hub of the community.

Residents particularly appreciate Fenney's proximity to Brownwood Paddock Square, which is just a 10-minute golf cart ride away. The neighborhood also benefits from easy access to the southern trail system, making it a favorite among cycling enthusiasts and walkers who enjoy miles of shaded paths through Florida's natural landscape.

Home prices in Fenney tend to be slightly more affordable than comparable homes in the northern villages, making it an attractive option for new residents who want the full Villages lifestyle without the premium price tag. Open houses are held regularly, and several resale homes are currently available through local real estate agents listed in our directory.
