When we visited there, we had a very similar reaction. The residents were very pleasant and welcoming and they had a rec center area that was really nice. My husband absolutely loved some of the equipment in the gym and it's hard to impress him where that's concerned. But I agree with the feeling of the area outside of the gates and you have to go out to get groceries, etc, unlike TV.

To the OP, if you search Solivita on here you will find several threads where it is discussed. As far as the other community you mention, I know nothing about it and could not find it on a search of this forum to provide input.
