Personally, we just couldn't make the necessary adjustments to be really happy there. We DO miss our friends...but they'll ALWAYS be our friends and we'll be back to visit.

I am VERY interested in this subject. I have been considering a move to TV from Iowa for 4 years. I just retired. I am reluctant to buy for many reasons, including the cost and hassle of having two homes, (my wife will never sell our home up north because her entire family lives here and I do not blame her for that, but my entire family lives in TV), and because I do enjoy many things about our current home (working on it, no restrictions, hiking the woods even in the winter, a few friends still here, and of course it is my comfort zone. I do not enjoy a lot of small talk or dancing, and only golf somewhat, I love discussing controversial subjects, and love walking my dog all over, and I love exercising.
I REALLY would love to know why you and others moved back to your upnorth home, and what adjustments you could not make to live in TV.
I know this is personal but please share if you can.. you and anyone else who has made the move back north.
Thank you.
