the answer is very simple:

TV is primarily attractive to an over 55, large part retirees with a life savings from an existing home, downsizing can easily afford moving from a higher cost of housing location to a lower cost of housing location, marketed towards the national active retirees looking for an active retirement.

Middleton, with the school district, not a 55+ community, is priced for people who are not retirees, many who are moving laterally within a cost of housing location, and starter homes. . Middleton was always marketed towards working families, especially to support the trades and services within the villages, so wasn't designed to support the retirement lifestyle
