We started coming to TV in 07, and bought first vaca home in 2010. We snowbird until 2016, when one half retired, while I continue to work. We are on our fourth home in TV, and have maintained friends from each village that we lived at. To the point that sometimes we couldn’t get all the gatherings, parties, and golf to fit in when I came in for 6 weeks at a time, 4 times a year. We have only lost touch with a few, because they either moved from TV, or health became a factor
This will be the first year we will only have the lake house, and the family home up north. We will continue to spend long summers and early fall north. Our friend are dwindling up north, because when they visited TV, they bought and moved here.

This is an interesting response as to the OP's ??. Seems one must check some type of box prior to input; own two homes to know about building relationships with others and what it's like to leave your mother and hometown of 60 years.
Guess many are disqualified to respond so should be a short thread.
Perhaps it counts if between siblings and parents a poster has 3 houses in T V and one elsewhere?
Stay close to mom. It is time you can't get back.
As for building relationships, pick those that are more friendly than the posters on TOTV and you will be all set.
You get out what you put in to all relationships. Some neighbors you really miss when they are gone and others you don't even notice they've left.
HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS. Maybe mom can come to T V also?
