It is sold out but resale homes are available, it came down to TV and Plantation, but we felt we got more house there and were still close enough to the Villages to enjoy. Both were at the top of my list and the P let us make modifications and at the time, TV did not. I think both are wonderful and wish everyone the best wherever they choose.

BTW, read Leisureville by Blechman for some good info on TV.


We liked Plantation too. Would have like it much more if there was a supermarket within ten miles.
