TV did not make the cut.
One that did had this listed among the amenities: A tennis court and a golf course. A. As in one. Hard to compare that to TV.

Possibly ? But, also could be much smaller and that is sufficient ? Not incredibly unhappy here at all, but really not like a smaller community. We're so tired of spending so much time in "line" out on 466 just to get to turn into the villages and get in 'line" again to go to our home when the lines are actually caused by the wish to give the illusion of a private gated community so folks back home are impressed... just our opinion, not worth it just to be able to impress friends who come to visit. When they see we are able to afford live "guards" in little "guard houses" they assume we must have inherited some real wealth...LOL... they are really impressed, LOL ! Traffic was not a major thing when we first built on a lot we bought in the "new" lake sumter area, kind of rethinking at this point. Love the idea of communities where there are some restrictions on rentals, that too seems to be very different and pretty much unregulated, a night, a week, whatever. If doing it again probably would consider a bit less "in and out" community, but probably not at all of concern to others, such a mixed bag. "Free music" was quite nice, still enjoy, but again, would move down the list now. The number of door bell ringing "sales" people is getting to us a bit. Unbelievable how this has become ! Have never lived anywhere in any state with what it is here now...was not that bad in the beginning ! That is getting tiresome, but of course to others, it's of no concern, don't go to the door is an easy solution. Family members just moved out of V's after some years, to Spring Hill area. They didn't know either if it was the right decision, knew they may miss it here an move back. So far, you could not bribe them enough to come back here, so that's why we've at least opened our mind to other possibilities !
