MARCO: I was really impressed
with the amazing landscaping
and beautiful parcels.
NVM: The Grove is known to
be very posh and exclusive.
Did the high end reputation
of this property encourage
you or give you pause before
moving in?
EVA: To be honest, the reputation initially gave me pause. I
love decorating, but if I had to
describe my decor style, I am
not a very formal person with
very ornate furnishings. And, I
was under the impression that
my house needed to be ornate
to fit in, but that isn’t the case at
all.
HANK: Early in my knowledge
of the Grove it appeared to be

too exclusive and expensive but as I matured in SL and gained experience elsewhere, I learned. The community aspect is
something I appreciate. I lived on another
high end estate for some time and was
very sad when it was sold, but learned it
was not a bad thing to pay a premium for
beauty.
KIMMERA: Posh isn’t a word I would
choose, Exclusive? yes and no. Posh
sounds stuffy to me, I prefer elegance
and quality. A place where the details
matter and everyone has the common
goal to keep it that way. Exclusive sounds
like tenant wannabe’s have to go before
a board of stuffed shirts LOL. It isn’t like
that. I think The Grove attracts people
who want a certain feel for where they
live, a sense of community and home.
We see a small turnover, but many of The
Grove tenants settle in and stay.

LEIGHTON: It actually made me
pause for a second. I have lived
in many neighborhood sims in
second life and for some reason
it seems like everyone is hiding
in their homes with their group
of family/friends and they are
reluctant to meet other people.
As an extremely outgoing person this was hard for me, and
with the known “Posh” status of
this community I thought maybe everyone would have their
own groups and be a bit unwilling to accept newcomers. But
the hesitation stopped when I
met two very lovely individuals
here at The Grove. Not only were
they very welcoming, but they
seemed true and genuine, and as
I got to know more people, I fell
more and more in love with the
community.
