Like many have said, it all depends on how you want to spend your retirement. I tell friends that ask about TV, it's a wonderful place but not a good fit for everyone.
If you just want a place to hang out and chill, you're wasting your money here since you do pay more for the lifestyle.
But if you want to live a fun, active and social lifestyle, there's no place like TV to retire. There's way more things to do than you'll have time for, which is a good thing.
We love it here, but since we've only been here for a couple years we still kinda miss the kids and grands. My wife more than me. lol. But that's getting better with time.
But like everything in life there's trade offs. For us it's been well worth it.
No more Indiana winters. I get to play softball, run outside, golf, ride my Harley, mountain bike, and my dirtbike year round. Lots to do, inside and outside the bubble. For us life is great here.
We've made some great friends and had some from Indiana move here.
We live a bit south of Lake Sumter in Amelia and love it. Check out the northern, middle, and southern areas to see what checks the most boxes for you. We all have different needs and wants.
Good luck!
