Default Which is the largest Village -- by home count?

Anyone know which Village is the largest?

Today, I took the time to observe over 1000 mailboxes at the Hawkins mail center. At first I thought maybe they incremented by 10's or some other number. But no, there are over 1000 mailboxes.

I'm thinking the Village of Hawkins is a top 5 largest.

The swimming pool is very small. I'm thinking this pool is a top 5 smallest.

I'm curious if anyone has the stats on the largest, smallest, etc., Villages.

Duval is the largest with 1550 homes.

I'm pretty sure that Fenney is currently the largest, but Hawkins is starting another phase. No telling how many homes will end up there.

Fenney is currently the most populous. But I agree that Hawkins will be huge once phase 2 is finished.

Only in TV would anyone care what the answer is.

Well, it is hard to imagine someone living in Nebraska would care, although I've been asked similar questions in New York.

For example, I've been asked how large each "Village" is, and I hadn't really much of a clue until this thread. I never thought to count mailboxes.

I'd be interested to know how big the smallest Village is, and what the average size is.
I hope there is a way to get that information without counting all of the mailboxes in all of the Villages.

Which is why they asked the question on a TV forum.

I believe that the smallest village is Valle Verde just north of 466 off of Chula Vista.

According to the info published in the new 2021 - 2022 Newcomers Guide: the largest village is Fenney with 1937 homes. The smallest is De Allende with a mere 22 homes.

By the way, for those who get curious about the eventual size of new villages being built...the first thing built in a new village is the postal station & neighborhood pool. The mailboxes are numbered, so you don't actually have to count them. The number of mailboxes is a pretty good estimator of the number of homes that will be coming.

Yes, the Premier Village of De Allende is sort of located behind the Tierrra Del Sol recreation center.
I found it by accident one day...very exclusive, one street only.

THanks, Kansas, for posting that.

I once had a goal of visiting every state in the USA, and setting foot on every continent. Those things are unlikely to happen.

Maybe I'll replace those goals with the goal of visiting every village in TV.

Perhaps become one of those people who have swum in every swimming pool, played on every golf course, or played on every pickelball court? Live those dreams!

Me thinks, Lazamora is second smallest (92), next to Valle Verde
