Since it will be several years until I can contemplate buying in TV, renting in different villages may be a good way to see which part of TV I would ultimately want to buy in. Maybe next year I will rent in Pennecamp or Buttonwood to see what the newer villages are like to live in. Convenience to shopping would definitely be important to me. I think I would also like to live within about 2 or 3 miles from one of the squares. By the time I will be able to buy the new square at Brownwood Paddock will be finished.

Here's what we do. We take the center of LSL then add the address of what is for sale that we are considering and put it on Google maps. That will tell you how far it is to the square or anything else. Once you put in the address of the house and the square address you can drag the mouse to a new location and see how far that is.
Now remember these are car times and milage so you need to add a few more minutes and miles due to carts going 20 instead of the 35 or so on the highway. Also, cart paths are not as a direct route as the streets are.

Hope that helps, it sure has helped us.
