We bought our place to be convenient to things other than the Town Centers, which we thought would become, well, a bit worn and boring in a short time. We found the town centers more crowded areas and ,please pardon, a little to Disney-esque. We do like riding the bikes there for Subway, AAA, and for business, but to us it's certainly not a 'draw' for us, and we've been known to go 'in' to SS or LSL on occasion for a spin or stroll, but we can't see being daily fixtures.
Our little place, currently rented out, was chosen for many 'conveniences' like the<20 minute walk, 3 minute bike ride, (or about a mile) from shopping at 466 (Buffalo Ridge, Southern Trace) and convenient to 'getting out into the country' in 2 minutes on the bikes - as we're just off 101.
We find the Oxford area (301 at 466) to be an interesting close-by section of the world outside the bubble and appreciate the changing scene and variety of everything.
If we want to bury ourselves deeper into TV's inner sanctum, we can, but if we want to get away, that's convenient too.
We'd just like to let the newly curious know that's it's not all about the Town Centers.
Whatever floats the boat.......
