The other day I was visiting my friend, Cindy, in Turnberry – a neighborhood in World Golf Village. I was struck by how much unspoiled nature surrounded the neighborhood here. I sat on Cindy’s lanai and loved looking at the preserve behind her home. In just an hour or two, I saw all kinds of birds, including a turkey! Cindy told me about her morning walks through the Village. Yesterday she saw a doe with her yearling beside one of the Village’s lakes. She said she gets to see the sunrise above the green of the Slammer & Squire golf course and illuminate the Hall of Fame Tower. This is her life and I want it!

Not only do Turnberry neighbors enjoy nature preserves, the neighborhood also has a swimming pool, basketball court and gathering room. Cindy mentioned the neighbors get together for cookouts and swim parties. There are always children riding bikes through the neighborhood and people catching up in the streets. Whenever I drive through Turnberry, someone always greets me with a friendly wave.

Although I could think of many reasons, I asked Cindy why she bought in Turnberry. She said it just felt like home. She loves how her backyard is her own little garden right next to a nature preserve. She said it’s private, yet still feels connected and friendly. She also likes how each home is unique, which adds to the welcoming feel of the neighborhood. One day, I might just be Cindy’s neighbor!

Homes in Turnberry start in the $200s.
