My husband and I built a home here 4 years ago. He was over 55 and I was not. Our original intention was to be snowbirds at first then eventually move here fulltime. Unfortunately he passed away unexpectedly before realizing our dream. To make a long sad story short I moved here on my own not knowing what to expect especially since I was in my 40's. What I found was a wonderful, warm community that made me feel at home and welcome from day 1. Yes, I occasionally get the "you can"t live here you aren't old enough" comment. I just smile and say thank you but I grew up in the friendly south in a small town so I know friendly and this place is a wonderful, warm and welcoming place for anyone but especially for a single woman. I have always felt safe here even living alone for the first time in my life. I love this place and all the people in it. No it's not perfect but pretty darn close and I am so happy to call this home.
