So the 1st thing on my list, after reading all the comments, is to start spending some time at TV. And by the time we've explored the entire community...it'll probably be time to retire anyways! I appreciate the time you all took to write and all the positive experiences you've had buying in TV. thx!, Suzanne
Spending as much time as possible here before buying, is a very smart thing to do.

Because of the vast expansion of TV in just the last 8 years since we first rented, the old saw about....location, location, location...becomes very important.

While the newer homes south of 466A generally come with more amenities (golf cart garages/updated kitchens/etc) than the average home built north of 466A, I tend to think it is to entice folks so that they don't notice that they are further away from the heart of TV...which I personally believe is the Lake Sumter Landing area.

But hey, each person needs to make their own determination as to what is most important to them and make their decisions accordingly.

Good luck in finding exactly what you want.
