We have 1 year left on our mortgage in Illinois and anticipate selling our home for $350K-$400K. The plan is to do just that, retire, and buy a home in TV.
1) I'm a avid pool player and can't imagine not having a pool table in my home. Are there any models, past or present, that have a 2nd bedroom in the 14 x 18 foot range?
2) How about a dining room, as part of a great room that could accomodate this dimension?
3) Also, gotta have a view of a golf course or nature area. We have that now in Illinois and won't sacrifice it and have to look into someone elses Lanai 20 feet away.
4) Are any of the neighborhoods built better in regards to building materials and contractors used? Are any simply more desirable?

Hi Gurnee_Steve,
I see this is your first post. Welcome to TOTV!
I don't think you will have a hard time finding a designer or premier home on a golf course. The recreation centers have pool tables, so you'll be an easy golf-cart ride away, where ever you live in TV. If you want one in your home nonetheless, a lot with room to add or expand a room might be your best bet, as bike42 said.
Your TV agent and MLS Realtor should be able to help you find a lot and home with the flexibility to accomodate a pool table, either as is or with an addition. If you consider resales, use an MLS Realtor familiar with TV in addition to your TV agent, as they don't share their listings with each other.
I don't think any neighborhoods are better built than others. TV uses it's own team of contractors so quality should be fairly consistent.
Congratulations on your pending retirement. You are making a fabulous decision to move to Lower Paradise. There's no place like TV. (heal click)
