Independence Neighborhood-any input? (Winter Garden, Celebration, Windermere: condo, zoned, new home)

[ThePolyPrincess]

Does anyone know anything about Independence? I know it's so new that there might be little to know-know, but what's the "scuttlebutt" on the ground over there??

This is the area i sent you the details on. We love it

THAT'S why the information I received from them looked so familiar!! Duh. Okay, I'm on board again. Thanks.

So it's brand spanking new and it appears that it will have affordable (to me) housing. Now is this in Widermere or Winter Garden?

And what do you love about it? I'm fairly patriotic so I love it's name and it's resemblance to the national mall. And it appears to be a stone's throw from The Mouse.

It is, its very close to the mouse, it doesnt have any other subdivisions very close to it, relatively quiet and nice and pretty. We are very happy here. Its actually zoned as in Winter Garden, but if you look at a map, it is actually more Windermere.

When we first moved we looked at homes there. The prices were about the same as what we were looking at in Celebration, but Independence had no downtown and felt more isolated (in the middle of nowhere.) It is close to the back area of the Magic Kingdom (cast area.) It is pretty far from the main (real) area of Windemere.

You will find that the prices are more reasonable now. You will struggle to find a new home with 3 or 4 beds in celebration for mid $200,000s now. In Celebration your lucky to get a 2 bed condo for that price, plus taxes etc are extortionatly high in Celebration. I used to live there and have family who still have property there...lol
