I was down TV last July and it was cooler in the evening compared to what we had back home in IL. The elevation is higher in TV so you do enjoy the cooler breeze that comes in at night.

I wanted to own two places too - because my kids and grandkids live near me but it's not financially possible plus I didn't really want the maintenance of two homes.

Just my opinion. I'm sure Canada is beautiful in the summer but I felt TV was beautiful even with the summer heat.
Nanci - I would LOVE to live in the Villages full time .. it wouldn't be my choice to leave in the summer! But the U.S. Government will only allow us to stay in the U.S. 180 days in each calendar year. We sure don't want the expense and hassle of maintaining two residences. Unfortunately we just don't have a choice in the matter. We are really grateful that we "discovered" TV and six months a year is better than nothing!
