We currently live in the fantastic planned community of "Daybreak"(all ages) in Utah. Lots of trails a lake and playground on every other corner. Very community feel. What makes it unique is that every home, condo, townhouse has a front porch. It is where everyone spends the summer evenings. Watching the kids play, visiting with neighbors. etc. All the homes have alley driveways with 2-3 car garages behind the house. It makes for a beautiful community and yes, very, very friendly and everyone knows their neighbors. The builder did it right. Now, if it didn't snow 5 months of the year and we had more golf.....we might have decided to retire in place. But as beautiful as it is in the summer....it is horrible in the winter. We are ready for the villages, but will miss the front porch socializing!
