Lake Ashton "Green" Retirement Homes
The Lake Ashton community is located in Central Florida between Orlando and Tampa in what is known at the Lakeland-Winter Haven area, near the town of Lake Wales, just off Highway 27. In addition to the amenities within the community, residents are only about a one hour drive from Tampa where they can visit Busch Gardens. Within a much shorter drive, residents can enjoy nearby Bok Sanctuary (pictured above), Lake Kissimmee, and Cyprus Gardens. In the other direction, it is also approximately a one hour drive to Orlando, home of Disney World, Sea World and many other amusement parks and attractions.
This region of Florida, located half-way between the metropolitan areas of Orlando and Tampa, is surrounded by citrus groves and rolling hills, and is dotted with lakes. It is a fun recreational area for people of all ages. Lake Ashton is an over-55 gated community that has been designed for adults who want to live an active lifestyle.
The homes are certified "green," which means they have extra insulation, energy saving appliances, and indoor paints and floor coverings that are designed to provide better quality indoor air for a healthier lifestyle.
Homes are also designed for beauty and efficiency, with skylights, custom windows, french doors, art niches, built-in entertainment centers, custom countertops and cabinets, jetted garden bath tubs, and other features commonly found in luxury homes.
Single Family homes start at around $150,000, with larger and more luxurious homes selling for up to $450,000.
How to Visit Lake Ashton and Find Out More
One way to find out more about this eleven year old planned community is through their "Great Escape" program. You can get a special Lake Ashton rate at a nearby Hampton Inn. During your stay you will have the opportunity to meet current homeowners, get a guided tour, and see the model homes, golf courses and other amenities.
If you want to set up your own Great Escape, call (866) 525-3274 to make the arrangements.

Most of the senior citizens have only one thing in mind i.e. comfortable living. However, one can now easily find many Adult retirement homes in PA which provide not only the benefits of comfortable living but also fulfils their luxury home dreams with quality moedern amenities that they desire to have.
