I think before buying at TV you should check out Solivita. We spent a lot of time at both locations and as I said before, decided we liked it better at Solivita. In terms of physical beauty, they have done an amazing job on this community. I do think the homes cost more here, but you probably get more for your money. With today's r.e. market, there's a lot of room to negoitate no matter where you buy.

Keep in mind that Soli. is a lot smaller community; only about 3000 homes. Yes, there is more traffic OUTSIDE, but we don't have the crowds, noise and traffic INSIDE the community. As far as amenities....you can find everything here that you have at TV on a smaller scale. There is lots to do here.....we are always busy. There are many, many clubs, lots of entertainment available, sports activities, about 10 pools (more than enough for the # of residents that use them here) and best of all, a new $6 million rec center will be opening in the next several months. It is an incredible facility...can't wait!!! One thing.....golf is not free here. We are not golfers but many of our neighbors are.

Another thing I like about it here.....security is manned and very efficient. Several times when I was at the villages, the "visitor" gates went up automatically for my car. Since there are so many outsiders there, that made me uncomfortable.

I would definitely plan a visit here. Again, it is a matter of personal choice. TV is much larger and crowded....more like a city and does have the convenience of all the stores on the grounds. This community is smaller and quieter. I am impressed with all the stores they are adding nearby lately. Thank God we all have these choices. That's what makes the world go round!
