Active Adult 4 Less, Part XXII
In this, my 22nd
Part of Active Adult 4 Less, we’re talkin’ Texas! Bigger in
size than many countries Texas is a state that offers diverse
choices from oceanfront to lakeside, to big city, small town or
the wide open plains. It also has a lot to offer in the way of
age-restricted and active lifestyle communities.
I researched
the web site of a well known national builder that specializes
in 55+ active adult and active lifestyle communities and was
delighted to find that they are offering prices starting at well
below $150,000 in all 4 of their communities.
I discovered
number of other builders throughout Texas that are offering
similar pricing. It is also possible to find great resale home
values within completed communities.
Frisco Lakes
(Frisco) is a 55+ active adult community that is situated about
25 miles north of the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex. The community
has been selling for about 5 years and has over a thousand homes
built of the planned 2,400 total.
Amenities
abound within the community:
The Village Center, a 28,000 square foot facility features
indoor heated and outdoor pools, two hot tubs, fitness center,
aerobics, library, billiards, arts and crafts room and
multipurpose space for card clubs, etc.
Outdoor recreation can be enjoyed with miles of bike and walking
trails, 18-hole championship golf course, 7,400 sq ft. golf
clubhouse & grill, tennis courts and bocce ball courts. The
lifestyle director coordinates special events, trips, hobby
groups and more.
Oh, and the prices for a new home start at just $146,990!
Pecan Plantation
(Granbury) is located southwest of Fort Worth and is a well
established riverfront gated Country Club community that
features golf, tennis, swimming, boating, walking trails,
equestrian riding arena, a marina, and even a 3,600 foot landing
strip! As well as posh single family homes in the $300’s to
$700’s there are townhomes and condominiums priced within the
$100’s.
The 4,000+
acre community began development in the 1970’s and has been
family owned and operated since inception. It is an all-ages
community of about 5,600 residents of which about 650 are of
school age.
By the way, if
you are nuts about pecans there is also a 1,600+ acre working
pecan plantation adjacent to the community!
Sun City Texas
(Georgetown) is just a short distance outside of Austin and has
all of the trappings that are synonymous with the name. If you
are searching to find Active Adult 4 Less then consider this
gated golf community. With indoor and outdoor swimming pools,
water sports, indoor and outdoor walking tracks, performing
arts, a Lifelong Learning Academy and a wellness program what
more could you ask for?
Well, OK then,
