We came here first on a lifestyles tour and didn't expect to like it as much as we did. We then figured that places like this existed all over the place and began looking around. We visited several places near Phoenix (to far and dusty), several places further south in Fla (no comparison on amenityies for the price), looked into some places in Mexico (being outside the US is just not convienent). Arkansas, Hilton Head and others sent literature: once you get on the lists for retirement communityes your mailbox fills up. None compared to TV in value or choices. Some had one nice golf course, club house pool but none had the range of activities, housing choices, or entertainment that we enjoy here. Most had monthly fees much higher and delivered much less.
