rshoffer, I totally agree. Most residents have checked out the lifestyle and buy in TV for that reason. They know what they want and they're darn happy when they finally achieve it.

I initially thought the TV lifestyle was too busy for me. I lived on a horse farm for 20 years with a lot of privacy. But I found a compromise that works for me. Backing on a golf course and spending time daily on the acreage at Doggie Doo Run Run provides the serenity I need.

And it is wonderful to have friends, shopping, restaurants and entertainment close by and accessible by golf cart. In TV you can be a hermit or a social butterfly ... your choice.
