What I have felt during several visits to TV is a warm sense of close (but not closed) community. Singles in TV not only frequently socialize but look after one another. Everyone has moved from somewhere else and seems to be open to meeting new people and developing new friendships. In my hometown social groups are pretty much long term and fixed in place. I have long term friendships but it can be difficult to develop many new ones other than by joining large church groups.
I am not asking for anything personal, just general thoughtful observations.
Thank you!

, great post!! Did not expect to be moving to The Villages as a single but have recently become a widower. Bought a home July of 13 expecting to move down retired together. Now I will be moving down single summer of 15. Hoping there is a welcoming community for a 61 year old.
