We had our 1st Lifestyle visit in 2007 and spent 6 nights here. Three of those days we spent visiting other communities. Really had no problem with them other than most had one golf course, one rec center and shopping was not on property but a short drive away. Top of the World is larger than most with adjacent shopping avail. I think Del Webb is now building next to Top of the World.

Other places we did visit were: Solivita, SummerGlen, Arlington Ridge, Stonecrest and a couple of others which I do not remember their names right now.

Bottom line for us was that we did not find any of them to have what we wanted for our retirement. Example: one place had a restaurant that was only open Thurs, Fri & Sat nights. Here we have a multitude of choices for dinner and so many other options for activities that when we visited other places while staying in TV we knew this was where we wanted to be. Happy hunting!
