LN is a beautiful vibrant city, that has a wow effect. The residential area reminds me of Disney’s Golden Oak neighborhoods, upscale with mix of family and older couples, enjoying indoor and outdoor activities.

Homes and cost are also very similar to Disney’s Golden Oak with modern, forward thinking designs. One bonus for homes in LN that TV so far hasn’t embraced are homes with full adaptability. One design single wall roll in shower and commode area could easily handle a walker, and even a wheelchair.
Counter that’s considered bakers dream, lower for kneading/rolling with a small bar size sink. cabinet doors open had availability for a wheelchair bound to have full access to counter.

I found homes in the $600,000 (around 2500sf) to 5 mil (8000sf).

The hospital facility reminded me of boutique hospitals with state of the art equipment, gel flooring for standing long hours, a unit just for geriatric. Yet the homey Hilton Hotel vibe. (Yes some facilities have been designed by hotel architects, my spouse worked at two).

The Performance Club, reminds me our Lifetime Fitness facilities. State of the art equipment with mind body and soul area for classes. I could spend half a day in the club easily.

LN seems to embrace wellness, on a higher scale, than any community I have visited. It has been 2-3 years ago so my guess is LN has grown and maybe even more impressive.

A lot of good information here but do feel that poster wants a comparison between a true retirement community and a high end working community.
