What people like about the Village of Fenney
A preserved natural spring — Fenney Spring — sits at the center of the development, not as a constructed pond or water feature, but as an actual Florida spring with its own ecosystem. Hundreds of mature oaks were retained across the 1,850-acre site, and the wetland and upland hammock corridors running through the village are protected rather than filled and graded. The Fenney Nature Trail connects these areas, giving residents a daily walking and golf cart path through genuine Florida landscape — live oaks, sawgrass, and wildlife corridors.
The recreation infrastructure matches the scale of the village. Red Fox and Gray Fox are the two executive courses within Fenney, included with the amenity fee for walking play. Fenney Putt and Play is a natural grass island designed for short game practice and neighbor gathering. Rohan Regional Recreation Center brings European-inspired architecture, a sports pool, tennis, pickleball, bocce, shuffleboard, billiards, and arts and crafts. Fenney Recreation Center adds an 18-hole putting course, a resort-style pool with beach entry and fire pit, and fitness classes. The Fenney Grill operates on-site adjacent to the recreation center for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a happy hour. Brownwood Paddock Square is the nearest town square by straight-line distance, at about 3.4 miles. The cost picture is direct: verified against District 12's Series 2016 schedules, annual bond assessments run about $1,300–$2,200 for single-family homes and lower for villa units, roughly $800–$1,300 — the Average tier, scheduled to reach zero around 2047 — the effective tax rate runs approximately 1.29% (Fenney is inside City of Wildwood limits, which adds the Wildwood municipal millage on top of the Sumter County rate), and the $204/month amenity fee applies to all residents. McClure, the adjacent village and officially a division of Fenney, shares this southern-area corridor and cost profile.

What to check before you buy in the Village of Fenney
- Bond status and remaining balance Fenney's bond is Average-tier, not the near-original burden the 2016–2020 build era might imply.

- Tax rate — City of Wildwood parcels Fenney is in Sumter County but inside City of Wildwood limits, so the Wildwood municipal millage applies on top of the county rate — approximately 1.29% effective versus the ~1.0% on unincorporated Sumter County properties. When comparing annual ownership costs against central-area alternatives, run both the bond payment and the tax rate together. The bond difference is the larger variable, but the ~0.3% tax gap adds to it on top.
- HVAC age Florida systems work hard in sustained heat and humidity. Ask for the HVAC installation date and service records.
