Obviously everyone's financial situation is different and SS payments can vary greatly, but wanted to get other perspectives.

My opinion, yes. Home and lifestyle will not be extravagant, but you can be comfortable. Low expectations. Lots of "free" entertainment. Walking, music at the squares, fishing at the ponds, bird/wildlife watching, gardening. Amenities open the clubs, music, games, etc, to TV residents.
That being said, there are probably better options.
Good luck!
