Default We rented for our first year in TV.

We were fairly sure we wanted to retire here, but TV is so large we were concerned we would find ourselves irritatingly far from the places we went to most frequently. Renting, we found that the rec centers we visited most frequently were Miona and Seabreeze, so that's where we bought.
We could have rented furnished or unfurnished, but our landlords had furnished it, so we put our stuff in storage for a year. We had previously lived in a big house, so we also deliberately rented a somewhat smaller house than we expected to buy, just to see where we needed more space.
This worked really well for us, so it would not surprise me to find others planning to do the same. Perhaps someone reading this has friends considering moving here and would put them in touch with you.
