I have a home in TV and would never consider living there, full time. I'm 72 and healthy, but the minute I start having any sort of age related medical issues, my home in TV goes on the market and I'm staying up north, where quality healthcare is available, accessible and convenient ... none of those adjectives can be applied to TV.

TV is an "Active Retirement Community" ... once the "active" part becomes challenging, it's time to get out of Dodge.
