One of the major problems in naming TV to a top 10 retirement list is that our real estate prices have not declined by 40-50% as in many of the retirement areas. This means that we are not as affordable as places that have declined by 50%.
Real estate prices in TV have declined but much less than the average in FL.
Great news if you own a home in TV. If you are planning to buy this is also good news because your investment is more secure than many other retirement areas.
You will read negative things about TV on TOTV such as "we don't like the new pool chairs", "the bond and fees are high", "the developer has IRS problems", "they closed the golf course for over seeding", etc.
There are no issues about the club houses not being finished or staffed.
There are no issues about the solvency of the developer.
Other retirement communities have much bigger issues than "we don't like the new pool chairs".
I'm glad we made a decision to buy in the TV and we will become snowbirds with the fall migration.
