I moved to TV from Maine More than five years ago. We brought our kids up in Limington before moving to Fryeburg. My dad lives in Newfield and loves coming to TV. I love Maine in the summer too.

We're from Mass and NH - lovely in the summer, but oh such long cold, really cold, winters. Today is one of those absolutely magnificent days where you are so glad to be alive. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, people are smiling and happy.

No black flies no mosquitoes!

I have "stolen" this from another poster "VILLAGESFLORIDA" because it is so true:

Be prepared to be blown away by what you see and experience here. Even after living here all of these years I am still amazed and totally awestruck by what I see here every day. I can't imagine spending these years anywhere else.

Look in the Recreation News and join in some activities. They are in the Rec Centers if they don't give you one.

Not sure how old your niece is and how long in Newfield but my Dad drove school buses for years for the Newfield/Waterboro School District.

My brother also went to Maine Maritime Academy in the mid to late 80's going into the Navy later as a Pilot. I lived in Maine my whole life until moving here. Still have a lot of Maniac in me.

Default Another Mainer arriving in April

Our house in South Berwick sold in less than a week, so we are packing up and will be house hunting in TV very soon. We are so excited. Hope to meet fellow Mainers.

I am sending you a private message with more details which the rest of the members are not interested in. Oops, ended a sentence with a preposition. Oh well, we Mainers are tolerant and don't sweat the small stuff.

We are also former Mainiacs who rented and studied this place and looked at new and existing homes until we had worn out a few maps. We sold our home in Maine and bought a new home here in November and moved here, full-time, in December.
We couldn't be happier. We still feel like we are on vacation every day but we never get to the day when we would say "Oh no, we have to go home in two days" because we are already home. PM me if you would like. Everyone will be happy to help you with whatever you need to enjoy your visit and will provide you with plenty of information. It is good to have the benefit of other people's experiences while you consider your future plans.
Bring us some red hot dogs made by WA Beans and some real hot dog rolls.

Default Lifestyle Visit Recommended

We are excited for you as you visit for the 1st time...and can promise, this visit probably won't be your last.

We recommend the Lifestyle package to everyone. My husband and I did this and loved every minute, especially driving the golf cart everywhere as well as enjoying the bikes, pool, and golf. They provide you with so much information which is a great selling feature. In fact, 6 months after our visit we became full time residents!

Make sure to go to the squares, visit with people who live here, and read the Recreation News. That paper gives you a sampling of the vast diversity of clubs/sports/activities available here. It's really amazing.

Safe travels as you journey our way...and have a wonderful time!
