I am new to TOTV's but bought the first lot south of 466 some 5 years ago. I went through the decision process and was even told by a villages sales rep. that "you would probably find building a new home more to your liking, the average age and interests would be more like your own". Well, now that I have been here for sometime I can tell you that was certainly NOT true. I recently had some "younger" friends (48) from my old home town retire and move to El Santiago which they LOVE. I now have decided that the remark from the sales rep. was purely to push lot purchase. I am VERY happy with my location, Bonnybrook, it seems perfect. I rented for several months twice to try to get a feel for what I wanted, and made the decision to wait until they opened the then "new area to come" past 466. This may anger people on this forum but I do have three very good friends who all live in different villa areas and are disappointed (but certainly NOT UNHAPPY), that so many of their neighbors are only part time residents. One has a villa near the high school and is really disappointed that so many residents are one time renters who never really get to know neighbors well.
