When buying a pre-owned house, the age of the house should be a huge consideration in what you are willing to pay for it.

"New" means driving a lot to get to retail shopping because it will be many years until the "new center" of T V has retail shopping chains as convenience - and likely never as far as golf cart accessible. They are still developing 466A and its been 12 years.
In the end it comes down to what is one looking for as their dream lifestyle and preferences. Personally I love the rolling hills and canopy treed in mvp golf cart rides in the north area of T V. I also wanted everything to be golf cart accessible as I age.
Spent 3 years making the drive to reach retail areas (other than Publix plazas) and decided to sell. Now I take golf cart rides to the southern end for adventure and that works for me. Chose to not let a roof influence what matters more to me, location.
The Village Ins office does not disappoint. I highly doubt T V would keep building if they didn't have an inside knowledge or connection to affordable insurance. To not have such connections would be a "wrench" in "a well oiled machine."
