I had, and still have a big problem with the small building lots. Even the larger lots are tiny compared to what we're used to. It's something we discussed at length prior to buying in TV. We figured we could tolerate it since we never plan to be full time TV residents.
The first two winters in TV were quite a bit colder that we expected. I talked with a lot of locals and they assured me that those winters were colder than usual. Last winter the weather was fantastic. I hope the mild winters continue. The only thing we were trying to escape in buying in Florida was the cold, snowy New York winters. Another stretch of cold winters will mean a for sale sign on the TV house.
Other than those two issues we're very happy in TV. We've made a lot of friends and are probably busier than we want to be but it's fun. We're active in our church and in several local organizations, both within TV and out of the bubble.
When we visit friends in Stonecrest and Spruce Creek it's interesting that they seem just as happy in their new digs as we are in ours. I guess home really is where you hang your hat.
