The wife and I definitely wanted to move to TV and figured we'd buy a much smaller home than our current one (2100 sq. ft.) and we definitely wanted something with a back yard facing nature. That meant that we were leaning towards the northern portion of TV which has mature trees and such.

So, after coming to TV multiple times over three years and spending days looking each time, we bought a not-so smaller house (1910 sq. ft.) in a new neighborhood way down south (Dunedin) surrounded by houses. Why the change? Well, we just fell in love with the model (Sunflower) and the colors in this particular house. We also feel we might be surrounded by a somewhat younger population as this is a new neighborhood and most people moving in might well be recent retirees and that could make it easier for us to meet and make friends. And last, we decided that we can get out and see nature, we don't have to live in it. The yard work I've put in to our current house over the last year or two has just got me fed up. I'm ready to move to TV and be on what amounts to a permanent cruise. Out having fun all the time and not feeling like we have to veg on the back deck to recuperate from our jobs.

That's what I like about TV, there seems to be neighborhoods and houses for all kinds of needs.
