Yes I would have moved here earlier.

retired and moved here in '08...been the happiest 10 yrs of my life...soooo many things to do...but the beauty of that is you only do the things what and when you want to...over 2000 clubs...a to z...you pick...(I've had 7 really good job offers since I've been here and turned them all down)...so happy to be able to pick and choose...sure you will 222...enjoy...

I'm in my late 60's now and play competitive sports. I'm playing more and more against people in their late 40's to late 50's and it seems that there are more people in that age bracket moving into the newer sections. But we are all aging and it seems like only yesterday that I retired early at 53.
By the way there are folks in their 70's who can still outplay me and my body is aching more and more...so I appreciate those in their 70's and 80's who have so much energy.

Take a few weeks or a month and come rent a place (it’s lesstjan a hotel room) and experience it in real time that will answer the question properly.

We spent some time there two years ago and purchased our home June of 17. Best living area decision we’ve ever made.

We were blessed to be able to retire at a young age. I’m 58 and my life partner is 54. We love it here!!! There is always something to do!!! It doesn’t bother me at all that we are the on the younger end here. If anything seeing people much older still so active and healthy is encouraging.

I'm 50 and my wife is 54. We visit my parents and inlaws 6-8 X per year. Every year people in TV seem to be getting younger. A few years ago it was friendly old people. Now it's friendly young people. What's not to like? We're heading there ASAP!

I have often thought of the same question. Thanks for asking.

You know for me this is a little bit of a tough question, but to answer your question directly, you'll never get bored here & like I tell other people that ask that same question, if you get bored in TV's you must be a boring person. If you have children, that's the hard thing. You get so involved with so many things here it's to hard to leave to see you children & grandchildren, at least for us it is because they all live in Ohio & Texas. All married except 1 of them & everyone of them spend the balk of their time with us & even their spouses like spending time with us. So we've come to a conclusion that they want to be closer to us so it's easier for us to go to them they have time getting off work to come here because it's so far. So if you're wondering whether to move here & you have no ties anywhere else, it's a NO BRAINER, move here as quickly as you can. I'm going to miss TV's & the super nice people here!

No need to wait
 
We moved here 8 years ago when I was 52 and my husband was 60. I worked full time at a corporate job until recently I quite to do my photography full time. If you can move now there is no reason to wait until you get older.

I moved here when I was 44. I still work full time and husband was retired. I found friends at work and on my street. I took golf lessons and we tried a few clubs until we settled in. I think you should rent for a month or two especially during the summer to see if the heat is for you. As much as I like it here (my husband passed away 8 years ago), I think if given the right time and opportunity, I would move back north but I have no regrets sticking it out. Just rent at different times to make sure it’s a good fit. Good luck!

We were only 17 when we moved here, but a nice neighbor...co-signed for us.
