Default Stone Creek versus The Villages

We lived in Stone Creek for 3 1/2 years and moved to TV last September. Simply put, there is NO comparison. Stone Creek is a bedroom community with very little recreational opportunities compared to TV.

We made a mistake and listened to some friends who said they checked-out TV and found it to be very busy. Well, it turns-out, we like busy. Stone Creek is a very nice community but it's an oasis. There is nothing around it so we had to hop in our car for everything.

It guess to put in nicely, TV has been doing this for years and Stone Creek still has some growing pains. As an example, TV has sports pools, family pools and adult pools. Stone Creek has one and the hours of operation are divided between "adults only" and "children". So, if your grandkids come to visit, they may have to use the pool between 1PM and 4PM.

I could give you more particulars but that's probably not necessary. We found that Stone Creek wasn't where we wanted to be because there wasn't enough activity but you might like that environment. I suggest that if you haven't already, stay in the Stone Creek villas for a few days and do the same here - I think the differences will be evident.
