Here's my story....my inlaws both lived in TV when I married my husband almost 10 years ago. My husband and I are from upstate NY. My inlaws lived in a manufactured home community. (My husbands parents are divorced but both managed to stay inTV). We would visit a few times a year and each time we loved our visits and mostly visited Spanish Springs because we stayed at a hotel there. We'd walk around and I'd say to myself " it's so beautiful here but everyone is too old for us.". The grass would be greener in a younger community. So years went by and we decided we wanted to live in Florida but not TV. We decided on Lake Mary, about half hour away from TV. Younger population and research said it was a great place to live. We contacted a real estate agent and spent an entire day house hunting. We were so disappointed! The community was very family oriented and we passed the toys in the driveway, basketball hoops outside, kids running around...you get the idea. My mother in law called to see how we were doing with our house hunt in Lake Mary and we said terrible! She said "you really should give TV another chance". So we said what do we have to lose? We drove to TV and contacted a realtor who my mother in law knew and he promptly showed us model homes. We instantly fell in love! As Gracie said it was the manicured lawns, the beautiful flowers, the golf carts....and it was a retirement community. We had to admit we were ready for retirement and all it had to offer. We hadn't met anyone yet so we hadn't made any friends but the sales people were wonderful so we were good. We decided that we wanted to build on a golf course and he had one designer lot left and we bought it right there. So, by default we will be a part of TV family. We haven't looked back once. We will start building next month. The rest will be history! Moral of the story...no grass is greener than the grass in TV
