Don't get me wrong. I love TV. However I have a family member that prefers a place that is not as large as TV, has lots of golf and activities like TV but in a more 3 season temperate type of climate.
Looking for a bit more upscale.
A few places mentioned were The Landings near Savannah, Ga or Reynolds Plantation near Atlanta or Tellico Village near Loudon Tn.
There is no perfect place to live and I am very happy in TV....just trying to help a friend find his beautiful vista with 3 seasons ...in the Southeast
Other than Florida. If money was not an object, where would one find life like The Villages in a 3 season climate
Thanks in advance

I would start by Googling some places.

Try St James Plantation. Right on the NC/SC border in NC. Also on the coast so close to the ocean. 3 golf courses and ocean beach and marina.

Then call them and have them send your friend all their literature, describing what amenities/activitities are included.

As far as I know, TV is unique in the amount of activities available, not to mention the numerous golf course. A three season climate sounds devine, as it does get hot in TV, during the summer.

It depends how much activity is enough for your friend to be happy.

Good luck!

Thanks so much. I know where that is and will pass it on. From what i know, he is not that interested in ocean or marinas but rather mountain vistas but you are on the right track....perhaps farther west NC or SC or somewhere in Ga.
The number of golf courses sounded very good

This is a good place to start for people who are researching - you can click on a state and it will give you a list and a summary. You can drill down from there.

I would avoid the Atlanta area. I went to college in Athens, GA, and student taught in Atlanta. They definitely have a winter there. It might not be as snowy as farther north, but it is definitely not warm. We had ice storms and some snow. And with the crazy weather patterns recently, there was snow there as recently as last winter.

There is a place in NC called Lake Lure. It is supposed to have a micro climate of year-round decent weather.

Check out Fairfield Glade near Crossville TN. Beautiful country and a nice retirement community.

I'm confused. We have 3 seasons. Spring, Holy crap it's hot, and snowbird season.

We looked at Fairfield Glade several years ago. It seemed very dated to us in terms of facilities and it gets COLD in the winter ... as well as wet.

My second choice of locations would be the north western part of South Carolina. Don't think it will meet the golf requirement.

Check out Peachtree City, Georgia. It is a golf cart friendly town with lots of golf courses. I'm pretty sure there is a Del Webb community there.

Might be hard to believe but there are some folks that enjoy cold weather more than Holy crap it's hot!

Count me in on that one - moving to Blue Ridge Ga the end of the month!

Soleil Laurel Canyon is in Canton, GA about 50 miles north of Atlanta. A beautiful community in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains. We have several friends living there.
