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.

These points above pretty much nail it.
We'd looked around at TV a couple of times several years back then started checking out other places in FL to see how they compared. In our minds, nothing else came close.............if an active lifestyle is what you're looking for.
