Its kinda sad to watch if you move to T V thinking the lifestyle will equal making long term friendships. Once your here you figure out real fast you have snowbird friends and some year round ones and are lucky enough not to be on an ABnB ally. My parent's loop is a ghost town except for the weekly cleaning crew coming in for the ABnBs.

Sad for sure. Of course things change but never ever expected this. Waited for lots to go up for sale near the planned Arnold Palmer C.C., designer or premier area recommended for "stability" for people like us, looking to be full time residents, told villa areas more prone to be purchased for part time and vacation homes. Now, our street of "stretched" designer homes (10, five on each side of block) has two of us full time residents. The quite large designer next door is almost exclusively rented by the night, not month or season. We've had no problems with large parties (it has 4 BR) or noise, but almost never does anyone even bother to speak back if you just say "Hi, hello there" ! Some will smile toward you but take off in the golf cart not wanting to waste any time getting to know people they will never see again ! Two homes are are owned by "snowbirds" and we two couples who are full time do look forward to both snowbird couples arriving each year. Neither of them rents out their place when not in residence, so there is no activity at either location other than lawn care people. Yes, it definitely not what we anticipated happening, but, it is what it is.
