Number6, it had to be a while ago that TV advertised in 'Where To Retire.' I have had a subscription since 2005 and have never seen an ad or a mention of TV. Having visited a lot of retirement communities before moving here, it is really obvious that they totally base their top 100 communities on who advertises in their magazine. None of the communities that we visited that were on their top 100 came close to being as nice as our wonderful home. As far as getting a bang for your buck, we love our house and yes, there are lovely houses in other communities, but do you really move to a place like this for just the house or is it the total experience? No other place we have ever seen has so much to do and so many opportunities to follow your dreams and interests. It's amazing to me how many houses are sold here with a minimum of advertising. Word of mouth is very powerful and says a lot about the quality of our community.
