[B-flat]

My two pennies worth. We have been coming to Central Florida/Ocala since 1994 when my wife's parents moved to Oak Run off SR200 Ocala, a year later an aunt and uncle moved to OTOW. We are a small family so eventually when all the family passed we inherited a home in Oak Run and one in OTOW. We lived in both homes at different times but for a number reasons we sold both. In 2018 we rented in TV drank the kook aid then bought a CYV and enjoyed it. We are now selling the CYV and this week moved to OTOW. We are not golfers so that did not play into any decision, nor were we involved in a lot of clubs or outside activities. If we were golfers may have stayed at TV because golfing here in OTOW is more money. From the years we were coming to Ocala both my wife and I made a number of friends in Ocala so that played into a decision to move to OTOW. Our dollar for dollar purchase of a home went further in OTOW. Lease hold? It's a 100 year lease from the time the home was built in our case 2017 so at our age that would make us 165 years old. We have no children so leaving it to them isn't a factor.

For our monthly HOA we get 30 Mbs internet, lawn maintenance/bush trimming, exterior home painting every 5 years, repairs to roof damage and the exterior of the home being insured ( we have HO6 insurance for our interior ) . We purchased a home the same size as our CYV ( 2 bed/2 bath 2 car garage vs 1.5 on the CYV) on a corner lot with plenty of windows and a view of the 17th tee of one of the golf courses. The same house at TV would have cost many thousands more.

For us it will work. We will miss the long golf cart rides we've taken from the north end of TV near Rt42 to Brownwood or to other town squares and Culvers. We can however still go to Publix, WalMart Food Store, Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, Taco Bell, Italian, Chinese and an ice cream shop all on our golf cart. As far as SR200 being extremely busy we found that going to stores/restaurants on 27/441 was just a busy. I would still give and edge to TV but for our tastes and lifestyle OTOW will work for us.
