If you are looking for a retirement community in the coming years, one over-55 community builder that should be on your list is Del Webb.
This company is one of the top developers of retirement communities in the
United States with attractive homes and amenities that appeal to many retirees. Before my husband and I chose our current retirement community, we looked at some very appealing Del Webb communities. While we were just looking in the Southern
California area, I was surprised to learn that Del
Webb builds retirement homes across the United States.
Consequently, I thought my readers would like to know more about what
these communities have to offer.

Like you, I always thought the Del Webb properties were only located in the sun belt. Thanks for enlightening me!
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice to take our seniors to caring and happy 55 retirement communities where they can be well taken cared off.
ReplyDeleteWhen I get to the stage of thinking about retirement communities for myself, I will probably be grateful that I gave up on eating sugary junk food. The main complaint of old age is poor health; if you have health and time in retirement, you really can enjoy some "golden years."
