They would come to visit their grandparents.........who dote on them.

Ours have all said that if we moved to TV, they would be there for every holiday.........and I'm sure school vacations are part and parcel of that wish.

That I can understand. What I cannot understand is why younger folks want to live there permanently. We love ours, but they all belong in a regular community such as one that they were raised in.......NOT in a retirement community fulltime.

Unless they want to mooch off the oldtimers............

Adult children who have flown the nest a long time ago will indeed enjoy visiting TV.......but still prefer the excitement and cultural events of the cities.....or the skiing in the mountains, etc. to a Florida retirement lifestyle that so much of us would enjoy at our older ages.
