We visited three times, different days and hours. The houses are attractive and well-priced, but there are very few people out and about. The sense of community we in TV enjoy was not there. We chose TV, and nearly 4 years later, no regrets. |

Or $141 for 12 months. (has been for years!) Which is great if this is your home and not your vacation destination or your golfing destination. |

Up in RI there were a bunch of houses on a lake that had a 99 year lease, a few years ago the leases came up. The new owner told the house owners that he wanted them to get off the property. As you can imagine, people (who had spent years there and made many upgrades on their houses) were very upset. The owner said they could take their house or sell the to him (cheap). After some lawsuits (which I'm not sure made any difference) and some government intervention, they all came to some understanding and they could stay. Not sure what to final agreement was, but the point is that after the lease is up, it's up in the air what happens.

I have been staying in TV for the past 4 winters at an Aunts house. This year I decided to find a place in FL to buy for next winter. I went to OTOTW and many others. None of them compare to TV! OTOTW was the closest but still not comparable when it comes to an active community. We were there on a late Saturday morning in February and during our hour tour saw less than 20 residents! The town square was empty, nothing was open. When I asked about this I was told most people were probably grocery shopping. Really! I will be back to TV in the fall to decide on my winter home. Any suggestions on what I should look for or stay away from? I know we want a Roman shower and a golf car garage.

We stopped at OTOW so I could show Mrs. Nucky what the alternative was to The Villages. I'm glad we picked here and so is the Wifey. Our relationship with our kids and grandchildren is better than ever because each visit is special not just run of the mill and we are not babysitters anymore we got promoted to grandparents. Nobody at OTOW even said hello. We just didn't feel a part of. We were greeted like royalty here and are grateful to everyone who made us feel that way. Someone on day one said to me at the pool, Where you from son? I said NJ and he said I knew it because of your Big Mouf! I try to pay back the kindness to new people when possible. There is no price tag that can be put on the friendliness of the residents of The Villages. What we have is $$ PRICELESS $$. I couldn't stand not getting a straight answer at OTOW about the property ownership, nobody of authority would give verbal or more importantly Written Guidelines about a 99-year lease. It might have been an acceptable thing if they answered any questions about it. They did not. I like to own the Property that the Love Shack sits on. It makes me sleep better than The My Pillow Products. We've made some great friends here and some of them we haven't even met yet. It's because of the Bolts in my neck and I look like Herman Munster!

My guess is no one knew what happens at the end of the 99 years but I will agree communications is a problem. |
