Hi,

Martha and Ralph here. We have been living in Bonnybrook since Spring 2004 (when it was the most Southern point of TV). When we were looking to buy, my instructions were that we wanted a house near the Square (thinking of Spanish Spirngs). When our sales rep, Joe DeLeo, showed us the house we (upon looking at several), I reminded himof our condition. He pointed out the window and said, "Ralph, see that construction going on - which is 10 or 15 minutes from here -, that's the new Square [Lake Sumter]". We bought, and find that we are virtually in the middle of everything in TV.

Hi! Sandra (and Dave) here from El Paso Texas via Washington state. We moved to El Paso almost a year ago thinking we would like to get away from the rain. BIG mistake. Too bloody hot! We would like to move to TV and will put our home on the market in December (trying to avoid capital gain tax). I stumbled into this site and enjoy reading the posts to get an idea of the people living there. So far...I am thinking you guys are the luckiest people in the country! :)

Hey larrydube,

Do you live in TV now or is it in your future.

Re: I'm curious where the Talk of The Villages members and guests live
 

HELLO TO ALL!
We are on our way to TV in three weeks!!!! Just can't stop grinning. We are from St. Ignace, Michigan and decided last winter that it would be our last winter in the upper peninsula of Mi.
Our brother lives in Summerhill and we spent a month house hunting in TV last April.
Our home had been on the market for one year without even one looker. We weren't buying til ours sold...so we rented a villa by DE LA Vista. Much to our surprise the first person that looked at our home bought it!! WOO-HOO...so starting Sept 1st we are house hunting in TV for real...

Any ideas? N or S of 466? We are wanting an Austin.... So excited, Linda

My name is Mary and my husband is Bill. We live in the Alexa Villas in Mallory Square. We moved here in March of 2006 from Ft Myers, Fl (lived there 16 years - previously Indiana Hoosiers) We lived in the Village of Winifred for 13 weeks this last winter while our villa was repaired after the February 2nd tornado. We love the Villages but Mallory neighbors have bonded and become "family" as a result of surviving the "storm" together!

Re: I'm curious where the Talk of The Villages members and guests live
 

(but the story got more interesting)

Tell us the rest of the story! Barb

Re: I'm curious where the Talk of The Villages members and guests live
 

Well...you asked for it. The rest of the story is, we had the boat up for sale, but in February, it sank. There were high winds on Valentines Day, which caused a loss of power, which resulted in our heaters to cut off. Sea strainers froze, allowing seawater to rush into the boat. (By the way, we are in The Villages while all of this is happening). This all happens in the early morning hours. The bilge pumps probably kept up with pumping the water out until the batteries were depleted. My buddy calls me in the morning and tells my "your boat is down." Insurance didn't want to cover. After months of wrangling, we finally did get them to cover our entire loss. That was the interesting story.

Re: I'm curious where the Talk of The Villages members and guests live
 

That IS an interesting story. My cousins live on a boat currently in Bradenton. My interest was peaked. What a story. At least there were no injuries.
