Yes we did consider this...briefly. The pros: you get a lot more bang for your buck when buying your home and the homes are lovely. The cons: well, lets just say its not the Villages. They could not compete with what TV has to offer when it comes to rec centers, the vast assortment of clubs, the town squares, golf etc. Also, home values in TV weathered the real estate downturn much better. We also found it interesting that every time we drove through Stone Creek we never saw anyone out and about or chatting with neighbors. It was just the opposite at TV. As we were moving here without knowing a soul, the opportunities to socialize and meet people is what we were drawn to. As they say, you are buying the lifestyle in the Villages. I may have a smaller, less fancy house than what I could get in Stone Creek, but I am so glad we are in TV.
