If you're thinking of some place else besides TV, why only consider OTOTW, Stoncrest, Del Webb, there's no reason to even stay in this area if you're not in TV unless you like to ride horses.

I grew up on the Gulf coast and my parents retired in 1983 in Spring Hill. If it weren't for TV, I would probably be at Heritage Pines, it's between Spring Hill and Hudson, Florida. It's a retirement community about 75 minutes SW of here in Pasco County. It's ten minutes from the beach, boating, shopping. US Hwy 19 is a commercial strip of businesses and stores from Spring Hill to St. Petersburg, sixty miles and if you can't find it on that road, it doesn't exist. Gulf View Mall is ten minutes.

What does Heritage Pines offer? Besides location, for one, it's about 45 minutes from Tampa, the airport, NFL games, NHL games, MLB in St. Petersburg all less than an hour away. Busch Gardens, great shopping, Tampa/St. Pete has it all.

Homes, the community is built out, so no construction to put up with, just resales. Homes are priced much more reasonable, actually that normal for that area of Florida. Here's example, this home is for sale right now for $189K.

It's a real gated community, no red buttons, no visitor passes, you have to be a guest of a resident, doesn't even matter if you want to look at real estate.
