this forum is a great tool to learn from your experience.

I'm from Enfield, Ct and lived in Manchester for quite a few years. I have been full time in TV for 9 years. I worked for the CT Dept of Transportation for 30 yrs. You will love it here.

slmwest, Another welcome to you from a wannabee! Hope your construction goes smoothly. Keep us posted on your progress. TOTV is full of information about moving to and living in TV. :welcome:

welcome,lots of CT people in the Villages.

Welcome. We moved from Windsor some 4yrs ago and have loved every minute of life here in TV. Activities, weather and great new friends await you. Plus I doubt you will miss the high taxes in CT.

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome looking forward to joining the fun

Joe and I are from Connecticut, he Danbury and I Hartford! We also have a lot reserved in Charlotte and are praying our home here in GA sells prior to the end of the year when we would loos the reservation!
I agree,this forum is great, not only for the information that we find so valuable,but odor keeping hopes up and reminders of what the lifestyle is!

Hi Everyone - We are in Norwalk, CT but my husband and I bought a lot in Fernandina in May. We then came home and got our house ready to put on the market by June 1st. We have just accepted a full price offer and hope to close by Sept. 1st I've now made a design appointment for Oct 2nd, but I think we are going to come down in September and rent for a while. Whew !! I need to catch my breath !!! I think we want to build a Begonia, but are still looking at a few other models - anyone have any thoughts ? Thanks

aabuono, Welcome to TOTV! Sounds like you will be busy in the upcoming months. I'm just a wannabee, so I can't give you any building advice, but I hope whatever home you decide to build will be a home full of good times! :welcome:

The advise I have been given by veterans is to build (or buy) the biggest place you can reasonably afford especially if you plan to live there full time. I’m told that you will find you need storage space and room to move around (no basement…).
Sounds reasonable to me. We have not decided on a model yet. The lot we picked out in May is in TV of Charlotte, so we have a little time to work on it.
Good Luck
