WHEN YOU CAN LIVE IT?

The Grove Country Club Estates has long been “the place” to live
with the “in” parties to attend and this holds true to this day. Their
are many articles about The Grove over the years, always from the
perspective of a look in at the grounds and estates, but for the first
time, Nu Vibez has been given access to The Grove’s residents, to
get their take on why they moved here, what they love about it and
what they would say to propsective new neighbors about their beloved home.
We sat down with residents,
EvaCross, Hank Correia and his
wife, Kimmera Correia, Leighton Trippy and Marco Corleone.

stuck with me over the years and when I
decided to give up my homestead to try
community living, The Grove was the first
place I thought of. And it was the best
move that I have made.

Thank you all for taking the
time out of your busy scheudles to speak with us on behalf
of the Grove. Crito, owner of
The Grove -- and all of us here
at Nu Vibez appreciate it! Let’s
jump right in ...

HANK: The overall style of the property
here fits very well with my/our personal
tastes. Kim and I were looking to consolidate several properties we had separately
into a home for us and the Grove was the
perfect choice for us.

NVM: With so many residential properties to choose
from what made you select
the Grove?
EVA: A couple of years ago, a
friend of mine moved to the

with the realistic aesthetic of
the community. The detail

KIMMERA: I have been in SL a very long
time, I have seen properties come and
go. Umberto Giano is a close friend and
his vision for The Grove intrigued and enticed me. I loved his style and the result
did not disappoint. The Grove has such an
elegance to it, the people here have what
I like to think of as pride of ownership. Not
only is The Grove a beautiful place, but it
is a community, it has that sense of Home.
Your neighbors become friends, we be-

come family in many ways and I
love that feel. Hank and I owned
quite a few properties between
us when we got together, I still
own two sims, but we wanted
something that felt like we belonged to it, where we could
socialize and feel at home, The
Grove was perfect.
LEIGHTON: I stumbled upon
The Grove a few years back
when Commoner was located
on the sim. I remember feeling
very impressed by atmosphere
but at that time I was a college
student who just couldn’t afford live here. I just happened to
stumble up on it again recently
and saw how amazing it looked
if not better from the last time
I was here. I walked around a
bit and was sold in the first five
minutes.
