We checked it out after 3 yrs of living in TV. Similarities - nice landscaping throughout, home layouts are nearly duplicate to TV's open floor plan, however no Roman showers (walk -in), there's always a shower door to clean. Everything is spread out. Pros - close to lots of hospitals, services, beaches, cultural events, restaurants. Con - every "village" has its own pool(s) tennis courts, yoga classes etc. You can't use another villages' amenties unless you get invited as a guest. We didn't move there.
