If you consider the huge influx of snowbirds to be a problem, then perhaps a smaller community would not have the wait for restaurants and traffic increase. But I don't mind it much, so it's not a problem for me. Good luck with your decision.

Even the smaller communities have an influx of snowbirds. If it is not that particular over 55 community it is the area around them.
A relative did not like TV because it was growing too big (this was back in 2001 when it was still relatively small). She moved to an over 55 community near Tampa. In the winter they are still very crowded with less facilities.
Make sure you talk to some of the year rounders in any over 55 community before you decide on one. They might just lead you back to TV.
