We had seriously considered that before we bought in TV. Logically and financialy it was the best choice. We do not golf nor are we fully retired or are people who join things or participate in activities. We had visited TV during every trip to visit family near and in TV the last few years and always liked the feeling. Hard to describe. We want to be isolated as much as possible from the outside world after living in it for many years.
It was not the physical things that drew us to TV obvioulsy as we would not use much of them. It was the people, the sense of community and the shared desire to carve out a good and happy life in the middle of a crazy and increasingly dangerous world. I lived many years outside the "bubble" and wanted in so much that I was willing to downsize both my home and income to do so. I think they are all witches who cast spells on us mortals.
in the end, as sometimes happens when logic and emotions collide, we ended up buying in TV because we knew from long experience that if we did not, we would wake up each day thinking that we should have bought a home in the Villages. Much like you feel when you buy the sensible sedan car instead of the overpriced impractable sexy red sports car you drooled over. It surprised us too. We were down there in June looking at homes next to TV. Bought our new home in TV sight unseen via email and phone last week. What kind of spell did The Villages cast that reached us up north?
