Fun Village Living
 

We really enjoy living here discovering new places to visit on our Golf Cart and bicycle rides. What are some of your favorite reasons for living here? Smiles and positive posts are always welcome 🤗

The winter weather for one thing, but what I really like the most about TV is the proximity to amenities.
From our home in Poinciana we are close to a wide choice of pools, pickle, golf (championship and executive) and two squares. It's so easy to do stuff, and a lot of it can be done on the spur of the moment. Because of the proximity, we often don't need a lot of planning ahead to go do some activity.

And, of course, we have lots of friends to help us enjoy these activities.

People we have met and the entertainment

The snow is easier to shovel.

The live entertainment that is available in and around TV...being able to watch a rocket launch from the end of the driveway... our friendly caring neighbors are the top three that come to mind

While not 'fun' these things bring me a bedrock of happiness:

Safety: we feel safe here. The fact that the most petty things are discussed/complained about here is verification of that

Cleanliness/orderliness: there are no bad villages or neighborhoods

No marginalizing seniors: Old people and their needs rule! No more getting ignored for prime income earners. We are not second class citizens here by any measure.

Safety, Golf, warm weather, and all the nice people we have met.

Hmmmmm....

1. Not having to worry about whether or not I have gas for the snowblower.
2. No State income taxes.
3. LEOs that are allowed to do their jobs.
4. No State income taxes.
5. Having a tan in February that I didn't have to pay for.
6. Having every conceivable business and service that I really need, not more than a 15-minute golf car ride away.
7. Friendly people.
8. Golf. And more golf.
9. Well-kept and attractive public places.
10. Did I mention no State income taxes?

Nightly entertainment at the Squares, special events on a regular basis, three performing arts venues.

1) The nature spots that were left for us to enjoy: Fenney's walk and the new one by Homestead (but spray yourself for bugs first). You need your own telescope to use the astronomy pads and also a mosquito netting suit lol. Florida so what do you expect tho :-).

2) Music at Fenney, Ednas and all the squares (and bars).

3) Karaoke - you'll find it everywhere in the world but here you get some professional singers mixed with those that know you're going to laugh at them and they are ok with it :-).

4) Golf car accessible shopping, doctors, bars, etc... Just lock up your property as anything not locked is fair game to others. It's safe here but there are a few bad apples in the apple cart.

So if your local representative introduced a bill calling for a state income tax guessing you would not be in favor.:a040::a040:

Golf carts, it’s all about the miles.

Sports pools, golf courses, bike riding, don’t need a car (golf carts rule), beautiful weather and no snow and ice, wonderful neighbors and friendly people everywhere, all kinds of different entertainment, beautiful, clean, and immaculately maintained, our beautiful back yard with our private pool, birdcage and wildlife preserve, a community where seniors aren’t forgotten second class citizens, the diverse bird and other wildlife population, so many good golf cart accessible spots to fish for big bass, generally a dog friendly place, and I could go on and on. As long as one has their health, I can’t conceive ever being bored in the Villages. Our biggest problem every day in the Villages is that we want to so many things and the day simply isn’t long enough.

most of all no free community so when your not able to drive or go places like shopping or doctors you have to take a taxi or have a friend to drive you there.

As the song says, “I’m not here for a long time—I’m here for a good time.”

I’m a Hedonist. I live for pleasure, and I try to notice beauty and take pleasure in it wherever I go. I take pleasure in my air conditioning, in the smell of the air in the evening, in the landscaping here, and the clouds passing, and the dogs walking along the streets, in a shady parking place, in the good cup of coffee I’m drinking as I type.

I especially take pleasure in the various musical jams where I play mandolin and dobro and guitar and more. That’s the focus of my life here, and I devote a lot of time to improving and to learning as much as I can. Where else could I have that opportunity? Worth the price of admission.
