But check on the amenity fees at some of the other area/developments you're considering. I don't think you'll get the same bang-for-your-buck anyplace else.

At the end of the day, you've got to do what feels right to you!Bill
Very good advice. Stay at a couple of different size communitites and see what feels best for you. We were in the same boat and found TV, as well as some others, each one that interested us had something to offer.

Good luck with your decision.
