But I guess when living in TV I only want to go there if I can take part in all it has to offer. I want to go and dance in the square or listen to music. I want to have the availability of 100 places to eat. The golf, clubs, and everything else it has to offer. And I like the fact I can get to all of it in my golf cart.
There are pro's and con's to every village. Not any one is perfect for everyone. Each one seems a little different from the others. My personal goal was to not be near the trains, not be able to see the power towers, away from a busy street, open golf view from lanai, pool, south of 466, 5 minutes from a town square, and some back yard privacy. Took 3 years and two homes, but I found it.
So list your priorities, establish a price range, utilize all the available tools and you will find the perfect home for you.

Not "everything". All we ask is peace and quiet. If others want to be social butterflies, sportsters and such, that is their right and I am very happy for them. We are and never have been into that type of social lifestyle.
The idea behind retiring, I had thought was to live out your days doing what YOU like to do. Not what your neighbors like to do.

Neat bumper sticker. Went like this: "It's God's job to judge terrorists. Our job is to arrange the meeting!"
Be a gentleman, remove your hat/cap when entering a building and dining out!
