It does have schools, shops restaurants, a hospital, office parks, etc. but it doesn't have some very basic things far smaller towns have, I mean no gas station or grocery? Really? (To be fair it did use to have a small grocer downtown, but they went out of business. Also in Orlando another planned community (Baldwin Park) does at least have a full scale super market right downtown backing it's main street. Much better planning, but to be fair they got to learn from the mistakes Disney made with Celebration.

Who knew?

Originally Posted By sjhym333 I always thought of Celebration as a town, not a city. I will say if I had $1.7 million I might build a house at Golden Oaks to go to on the weekends. Of course it would need to have a rooftop deck to have a glass of wine and watch the fireworks. I actually sent the link the Golden Oaks to some friends who come here several times a year and who could actually afford a house there without much thought. I will offer to housesit all the time

The all-caps emphasis on "not" was yours and not mine, so please don't blame me for misunderstanding. Whatever point you were trying to make got lost because of this. Either it's a city or it isn't. "I actually sent the link the Golden Oaks to some friends who come here several times a year and who could actually afford a house there without much thought.

Who knew?" Yeah. My first reaction. "You could say multiple things define what a town is," Exactly. "administrative services are certainly included, yes. But for myself other basic services should be as well." Like gas stations? Which are legion within a few mile of Celebration? I'm guessing there are a lot of cities without one supermarket. Is your problem that it's called "city" as opposed to "town" or "village"? "I am sure you got the point I was making Dr." I sure don't.
