I feel so fortunate and blessed first of all to been able to have retired early in life, and secondly to be able to reside in such a beautiful and vibrant community, with mostly highly positive residents and neighbors. For me, it only take one trip outside “the bubble” to realize how special TV is.
My wife And I moved here full-time in 2012 after using it as vacation property from 2009-2012. We loved it when we moved here and always enjoyed the music, the friendly people, and the abundance of activities. She passed away last September and while it has been an adjustment for me as a single, I still do love it here. I don't know where else I would move to that I would not be bored after getting spoiled by all the activities here.

I do get tired of the complainers and the traffic, but there are grumpy people and busy traffic lots of places so you get mostly good here, and put up with the little stuff you don't care for. You can choose to be happy or you can choose to be unhappy...why be unhappy?
