Look at your own expectations and personalities. Do you golf? Do you need to attend a club meeting, activity, or event every single day? If yes, the TV will probably suit you just fine. You’ve already heard about the summer heat, and we’re about to go into the season where it feels like we’ll be living in a blast furnace for the next 7 months. We were snow birds for a decade; been full-time for the last 5 years. Getting used to the brutally hot was probably the biggest adjustment for us. Remember to examine TV through the lens of living here every day, not just for a lifestyle visit or vacation.

Ironically enough, after being set to drink the kool-aid and coming thisclose to purchasing inside the bubble 8 years ago, we ended up buying in a border community. We don’t golf and have enough in our community to keep us busy. Contrary to popular belief, one can still have an active lifestyle outside TV. As mentioned, look at your own wishes and expectations. As for us, no regrets.
