Kathy/Vern:

Several points to be made:
1. Buy a house that fits your pocketbook so you own the house, and the house doesn't own you!!!!

2. Thre is no such thing as a bad section in TV. in terms of lifestyle being compromised.
3. I wanted to be close to the action, also but after a while, you won't go to the squares as often, and it's more important to be close to doctors and shopping.
4. I thought I wanted to be halfway between SS and LSL, but bought a home in the village of Alhambra.
5. There are many factors to consider when purchasing a home, as you always have the question of new vs pre-owned. You can seach for threads,
that expound on this subject.

I love living in Alhambra for the following reasons.
1. There is only one entrace/exit gate, with no through traffic, You have to expressly want to come into Alhambra. You will see only residents and contractors in Alhambra, during the day. No nightime traffic, to speak of.
2. Very close to the Savannah center, the Polo Fields and Saddlebrook rec center, that has a lovely pool with a great view.
3, You can go cart shopping to Publix and Walmart by cutting through Southern trace onto Wedgewood Lane.
4. 3.5 miles from SS for entertainment and has the MVP Club for those interested in exercise. Again, a nice golf cart drive away.
5, Close to all the big box stores on 441, if shopping is your thing!!!

Only you can decide where you want to live. Make a list of "must haves", and things you would "like to have but not a deal breaker", when purchasing your home.

Good luck, as they are so many decisions to be made!!!!
