I forgot the name of it. Somewhere out west. Maybe Arizona? It's visible from the air. I think it's modeled simular but I don't know how you could model a lifestyle other than offer the same amenities. There are a a lot of various retirement communities to fit each couples needs and budget. One of the things that attracted us to the villages is the use of golf carts. Can you imagine if you had to throw your clubs in the car and drive to any of the executive or championship courses, rent their cart, and drive back?
