Hi, if all goes as planned my wife and I will be coming to TV in August 2011 with the intention of either reserving a lot in a new area (if you can still do that) or purchasing a spec or re-sale. We will be retiring in November of 2012 so the idea of holding a lot and starting construction in Aug 2012 is appealing. The plan is to sell our current home in the spring and rent up in Northern VA till we move to TV.

One question that is a recurring theme for us is if it is a problem making friends if you move into a resale or spec in an already established area vs a new home in a new area. Do your new friendships come more from the activities/clubs/church or from the immediate neighborhood?

If anyone can provide any thoughts along those lines it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
