We don’t play golf and wondering if golf cart community is worth the cost of the houses, bonds, etc. Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated.
Please no comments like, well just stay where you are. Truly looking for information from folks maybe like ourselves. Have a great day and good health to all.

We're not golfers, either, although it would be fun to learn how to play. I hope to find a place within a fairly easy walk to one of the town squares, so that we could walk to/from the restaurants/bars for some good food and tasty adult beverages. I love the look of Brownwood Paddock and Lake Sumter Landing. The live entertainment (when it happens again) is a big draw for us. I also like the idea of living around people going through a similar life stage.
I like the walking trails and the huge variety of clubs available in TV. We will be downsizing significantly and I will be looking for ease of upkeep - I want to put my energy into having fun, keeping fit, meeting new friends and enjoying active leisure time with my husband (not yard work and housework!). We have dogs and we enjoy the privacy of a fenced yard so we'll probably want a CYV or perhaps one of the newer villa models with a double (or triple) garage and fenced yard. I anticipate that our young adult kids will come for visits, so we'll need to consider parking for them.
Given the amount of amenities and conveniences available in TV, I think the prices of the homes are quite reasonable.
I can also see how TV might not be worth it for the folks who prefer to spend most of their time at home and aren't inclined to go to the pool, exercise class, pickle ball, card games, live entertainment, etc.
