THANK YOU.

We chose Florida over Arizona because we couldn't find anything comparable to The Villages in Arizona. And because Florida is an easier commute from Ontario, Canada.

Bottom line is that the list has not relevance at all to The Villages.

Good info to keep in mind...

Younger professionals were in "awe" of the newly built homes in Texas, as were their parents age group.

Have never been to Texas.

The realtors bring the prospective buyers to various towns in Texas.
Considering the recent draught, who really knows why Allen Texas is listed.

P.S. HAS ANYONE COMPARED ARIZONA TO THE VILLAGES AND ULTIMATELY DECIDED ON TV.? WHY?
THANK YOU.

After exstensive research, our preferences in order are:

1. TV
2. Tie - Sun City Grand (Del Webb AZ) and
2. Pebble Creek !Robson AZ)

Most of those cities in the list are too cold in the winter. We live in the suburbs of Indianapolis in the summer and we can say that it is a good place to raise a family but I prefer the Florida winter weather over Indiana which is why I love TV. I also don't think TV is much of a secret anymore with it's growth and how many billboards I see about it when driving down here in the fall.
