It is also much buggier here than Phoenix. I would have loved it if a place like Prescott, Santa Fe or Sedona had a development like TV. So although we are physically here, our hearts are definitely in the West. Nothing will beat the beauty of the West. But you won't find a better development to live in than TV, so here we are and will die in place. Everything in life is a compromise, so it just depends on what you are willing to compromise on. Come, spend a summer here.............then you decide.

Aussiemom I am so there with you - longing for The Villages in the southwest. Love, love, love the natural beauty there. Can you imagine this community in the high desert - surrounded by mountains and saguaro!!!

I found high humidity without high tempetures in upstate New York and felt it was hot.

I found high humidity and high tempetures in Richmond and thought it hotter

I found high humidity and high tempetures in Memphis even hotter

I have lived in Florida for six years and last summer was the first summer i found it unbearable....owing to high humidity.

for people like me the biggest factor is high humidity vis a vis high tempetures. and yes hot is hot but hot and humid is much worse.

cold is cold but with low humidity in Minneapolis area proper layering of clothing kept the cold out. Not so in upstate New York because the humidity (dampness went right to the bone.

I reall can't say one is hotter than the other. I think you have to visit in August for a month and see for yourself.

My cousin who lives in AZ said the weather is worse because it gets to 110 or 120 and all you do is go from A/C to A/C. I know that a couple of times in the northeast, it went to 100 with a 100% humidity, that is the worse scenario.

Most people will say tht you plan your day around the heat. You play golf at the beginning of the day or at the end when the sun is not as strong. Stay in A/C when it's the worst time of day

Thanks everyone for your input. Looking forward to visiting TV next week.

We have been here 9 years and I haven't seen mold anywhere.
btk

The manufactured homes have mold problems..drive through Silver Lake or Orange Blossom sometime. Some of the buildings and fence lines in SS have mold growth.
