We spent some five years researching and visiting 55+ communities before deciding on TV. Had the list down to three when we stayed here in 2007 on our 1st Lifestyle visit. Of our three finalists they had similar size houses which were maybe $50K more at TV back then. We visited StoneCrest twice during that 2007 stay and almost bought there. But the one clubhouse, one restaurant and one golf course was a turn off for us. Also an issue was that folks there kept telling us how easy it was to get to TV for entertainment or dining. So for us we knew we could afford the house we wanted in TV and the answer was obvious as to which lifestyle we wanted to have in retirement.
