Walking in TV
I decided to winter in TV two years ago. I believe this was a good choice, in spite of my age. I started working in 1943 and retired in 2010. God has mercifully given me good health.
As part of my "search" process, I rented in three places....Iveystone (Woodbury), San Antonio (Rio Ponderosa), & Oleander (Sabal Chase). My 1st choice for an activity is walking..... I found that no area was really satisfactory, for a two mile walk. (except making the rounds of the road in the neighborhood. The walking trail from (Springdale to Mulberry) was great for me. It seems to me that this trail goes through a golf course and it is OK to walk on it. The golf-cart paths on the golf course looked very enticing to me to walk. But I digress. The Springdale fitness trail is great for walking, but the maintenance seems to me about at the level of a dog park. (No put down for the dogs)
In my search for a place to live, I had to walk on many golf cart paths, along to highways. I would consider the golf cart paths on the course to be much safer and certainly a nicer place to walk. Sabal Chase had sidewalks, but crossing Canal Street to go to the PO was an adventure.
Finally, I decided to locate in one of the villa's near Spanish Springs. Sidewalks are available to walk any place I want to go with the exception of the pool.
