Default Re: What makes you like TOTV?

I completely agree with all that has been said so I won't say it again.

I would like to add however that I think TOTV is probably the best sales tool that "The Villages" has, even if they don't acknowledge it as such.

Yes, the physical location of TV and all it has to offer is amazing and like no other. However, when you leave, after that exciting visit with a friend or lifestyle preview the impressions begin to fade...the koolaid starts to wear off.

Then if you are lucky you find TOTV. You read posts, get to know people and pretty soon you are posting. Then you begin to make friends on the forum...scary? Weird? Maybe, but I can't believe how cool these new friends are...in person they are even better.

Other retirement communities send information, we toss it. Long time MN friends & family ask us to stay. Old friends & family encourage us to move back to CA. We tell them all...we can't. We have to move to TV.

Trust me, for us, it's not the weather, it's not the houses, it is the friends that we have met and continue to hang out with on this board that will make the sale.
