I'm not looking to trash or bash TV, but just rather want to here from those who did not see find it as great as most of you do.
I have been a visitor. Not a buyer. To really test the waters try and rent a home for as long as you can. From my perspective it was too big. Took to long to go to wherever we wanted to go, if that was out side of our village. I was not there in the winter and was afraid it would be too crowed. But since it is big you can probably find what ever you want.

I have heard a few times that some of the resales are because the individual has gone from being a part time residence to full time and wanted a larger home. Also the size of the garage seems to be a problem and a reason some move. Thus make sure you will be happy with the space in the garage and probably take an option to expand wherever you buy.
