As has been pointed out, there is going to be huge selection bias in the responses here. A more telling question might be: Do you know people who have moved away from TV and what their reasons were?
Uprooting & moving is a big life decision and people certainly want as many assurances as they can get that they're making a good choice (I do!). But one can only do so much research and must make a decision. A fear is that there's some big "gotcha!" lurking that you didn't think of and no one warned you about. I'm sure there are people who hit a "gotcha!" and moved out - or wish they could. |
Wife and I from UK and have been Snowbirds for 20 years in TV.
Many many changes over that time, not all good in our eyes, but the basics have stayed the same. Lots to do if you are so inclined, and plenty of time to contemplate your navel if that is also your want. Never wanted to live here full time, but love the place when we are here. People look a whole lot younger, driving is still exciting, and lets face it, you Yanks are never going to get the hang of roundabouts, however many times you survive going round them!! We will be back again next winter, if we can keep avoiding the man with the scythe! |

Unfortunately Yes, sometimes the facilities are so overwhelmed that it can be very frustrating!

So Cotswolds and TV, great way to live. |

In the meantime, I plan to enjoy my time in TV and hope for the best, rather than live close to someplace not pleasing to me just in case I might get sick. But again, I understand your point of view, and I may not be thinking of all the circumstances surrounding certain illnesses. Please don't take my point of view as a rejection of yours. I hope and pray you are doing well. |
We have lived all over the world and for us, The Villages is hands down the best retirement location we have ever seen.

Yes we are very lucky to have both places in our lives. |
I missed Ohio with my every fiber when we came here. I thought about my beautiful gardens continually and the evenings outside on the shores of Lake Erie. After, much thought and a bit of time, I realized that what I was missing I could never get back. It was my youth that I was missing. I still miss it but I put it in perspective and I have moved on.

15 years and no regrets.
I even acclimated to playing golf when it is 90 degrees. While not a regret I will say there are some medical specialties and services that are lacking. However we have had no problem finding what we need within an hours ride from TV. Key to complete satisfaction? Avoid/mitigate surprises....do your home work choosing where your new home is located in TV. |
Regrets
Can you give us more reason as to why you have regrets? I don't have regrets but often miss my previous life. After a period of adjustment I find TV to be a much better place with nicer people around.
