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.

  3. When 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."

  4. Great article. We have two new Del Webb Communities in the Charleston, SC area. Del Webb Nexton is the newest and in the early stages while Del Webb Charleston has been around for a few years. Both are very popular with people wanting to live in 55+ communities near Charleston, SC.
