Is it as good as you thought it would be?

If you had it to do all over again, would you still buy in TV?

We would like to hear both the positives and negatives of living in TV.

We have visited TV several times and walked around the squares but have never stayed there. We have heard nothing but good comments but wonder if it as good as everyone says it is.

Thanks for your comments!


First..............congratulations on starting a great thread.

As with any where in the world, there is the good, the bad and the ugly. A lot depends on if you are a half full, or half empty person. From 10,000 feet, something must be going good..........look at the explosive growth in TV.

One of the most amazing things about TV is the people (yes, the properties, the squares, the golf cart style living are all amazing but, ). People from every where, with amazing backgrounds all come together to enjoy the next phase of their lives. Some living 100% on Social Security, some on pensions, others living off their millions. Doesn't matter, we are enjoying the next phase.

Sure, there are some who don't like it here. Is it the place or the person, we will never know. I pray for them. Life is too short [ mostly at our old ages ;-) ] not to be happy.

I watched this place grow for 15 years before we purchased. I enjoyed the video's, but it's better than the video's. There will be some of the half fulls who attack me, but again..........all I can do is pray for them and their happiness.

Hope you come and join us, you will not be sorry.....I can tell.

Good Luck.
