I've read many comments here on this subject over the years. Some comments came from folks who have lived in TV a year or more and determined it was not a good decision for them. I've also heard folks talk about how great it is to live in New York City. THE City would not work for me, but TV would work for me. We spend a few months in TV each year because family situations prevent a permanent move. The best advice I've seen on this forum is for those considering the move to do 3 things before making the committment. One would be to take all 3 trolley tours if/when they are available. This provides an up and close observation of TV from the north(1975-1995), the middle(1995-2015) and south(2015-present). Second, and in combination with the first, a 3 day to a week stay at Waterfront Inn. One could experience a taste of what is offered at TV without the committment of buying. Third, as many have said, rent for 6 months to a year to determine where you would want to live in TV if you moved. Where do you usually like to go outside of TV? Which Golf Course(s) do you prefer? Is it Pickleball? Is it Nature Areas?
Which amenities do you like? That could make a difference in what area you prefer. After the first 2, some may decide that TV does not fit for them. Life brings us many decisions to make. For me it is about attempting to gain the facts from the pros and the cons.
