Interestingly, my wife and I are considering TV or Key West for retirement. We want walking, local things to do. Key West has water, sun, but would e tire of being on an island 4 x 2 miles? Hmmm. TV has more lovely companionship, but central FL is rather bland, outside of TV, that is. We don't golf, but enjoy scrapbooking, writing and reading, gentle biking, things that can be done at either place. We love eating out and, loads of walking. Oh, I said that. Lol.

Taking prices out of it ( we've done the research and know KW has seven figure homes and we can swing it--frankly, our concern about TV is that they keep building new so resales are perpetually sluggish, unlike KW, where there no building, thus high prices), wondering if anyone has thoughts? We've been to Kw but not TV. And obviously we would rent at either place for a couple months b4 pulling the trigger. We're in our early fifties and will retire within two years.

Ideas? all things equal for housing (lets say you won a house in a contest, so it's not a factor), where would you live, and why? Thanks. I appreciate your thoughts, all. Sven
