Home prices in TV are higher because of the lifestyle, so if it were me, I'd go with a community with fewer amenities and lower prices.
Well for my parents they both retired young (48&52) they knew they no longer wanted cold winters. They spent 2 years traveling the country trying out warm weather states. They liked it here and this was one of the last places they visited. They golfed a bit but not many other activities. They moved 3times and enjoyed their neighbors and friends. The amenities were not the draw for them. Dad is still here, still loves the weather and has his friends and happiest memories of Mom.
