1001 Active Lifestyle Communities

Today home developers are actively "building for the boomers" - more than 60% of these real-estate professionals are currently developing such communities to meet the ever-increasing demand!"1001 Active Lifestyle Communities" has been seven years in production, encompassing thousands of hours of research. This national directory of active lifestyle communities has emerged as a comprehensive resource for those seeking to purchase a home within one of the age-restricted, "active adult" communities which are popping up all across America.

When the author, Lisa LaCount, began amassing the data for this book, the number of these communities was relatively small, the concept itself nearly unknown.

Until now, there has been no concise resource for active lifestyle communities. In particular, information on established communities has not been easily accessible. Builders don't advertise them - they want you to buy their new homes! Once a community has sold through, typically the web site goes away and there is no access to literature.

"1001 Active Lifestyle Communities" provides the tools necessary to thoroughly research (by City and State) over 1,000 active lifestyle communities in 45 states, with detailed information on each one, including:

Whether the community is new or sold-through

Type of homes built (single-family, town home, villa, condominium, luxury, manufactured)

Size range (square footage)

Price range

Amenities (golf course, fitness center, clubhouse, swimming pool, etc.)
Community-specific details/attractions (gated, waterfront, wooded, etc.)

Local and Toll Free Telephone Numbers (where available)

Contact Information

As added bonuses, LaCount provides valuable information on community pre- and grand openings, which offer the opportunity to enjoy incentive pricing and the best choice of lots. LaCount provides a list of active lifestyle condominiums - this rapidly growing segment of the market offers "low maintenance lock and leave" residences (ideal for second homes).

Without this directory, your independent research will require countless frustrating hours, with no guarantee you'll find the information you are seeking. "1001 Active Lifestyle Communities" has done the work for you. So relax, plan, and dream - the information you need is right at your fingertips.
