WHY RETIREMENT ESTATES?

When Planning a change, it is always beneficial to weigh the pros and cons.

The same is true when choosing a home. Making a move is a big decision, and one that should not be taken lightly.

Some of the advantages to living in Retirement Estates are:

Value

Ranch homes in this area are hard to come by and most were built in the 60s and early 70s. This means maintenance; 40 – 50 old roofs and plumbing, outdated designs, etc. Our homes were all built within the past 20 years and all were well maintained. These homes are well constructed and insulated, which also reduces your utility bills. You also can not find a like quality home outside of our community for the same price. Part of the reason is because you are not purchasing the land. And, as you do not own the land, your tax liability is reduced. You are, however, still entitled to the full benefits of any tax payer such as exemptions and write offs.

Accessibility

We understand that with aging, we eventually may have mobility issues. Our homes are all single story – many with walk-in showers and minimal (sometimes no) steps to get into the home. Easy access.

Safety

It is comforting to know that you are in a safe location. Our community is well lit, patrolled and well maintained. You can be comfortable walking in your neighborhood knowing that your neighbors are nearby, the traffic is light and speeds are reduced.

Rules & Regulations

Every resident here goes through the same application process. This is to ensure that our rules and regulations are met and understood by all. Our neighbors deserve the highest standards with being overly controlled, and that is what we maintain here.

Standards

We take pride in our community. Every home is maintained to a set standard. Our standards will not change, and therefor the community will maintain its appearance. In Retirement Estates you can be comfortable knowing that your lifestyle and home value will not be adversely affected by your neighbors.

Community

It is comforting to live in a community of like-minded people. Here in Retirement Estates your neighbors are all 55 and older. The neighborhood is pleasant, friendly and quiet. A friendly face is always right outside your door.

Community Center

With your lease comes use of our community center. This center is a comfortable, well decorated space to be used for your convenience. Host family gatherings, put on a dinner party – it’s up to you!
We supply a full kitchen, nice table service and seating for 50, and an entertainment system for your viewing/listening pleasure. The baby grand piano is also there for your use if you or your family members are musically inclined.

Lending Library

We have an on-site lending library for your use with a large assortment of titles. These books and DVDs are donated by your neighbors. We also have a stock of jigsaw puzzles for those who enjoy them.

Events

There are monthly events hosted by your neighbors for you to attend. Community breakfasts, pot lucks, Bingo, exercise classes, wine tasting events, etc. Several times a year we will host bigger events such as the annual Rummage Sale and the annual Craft Fair.

Community Maintenance

One of the benefits of our community is our staff. You can be assured that the roads will be cleared in the winter, we offer lawn mowing and snow removal for driveways at a minimum charge when requested. (See our snow removal policy for details)

We keep the roads up to standards, landscape and maintain the common grounds, keep the property well lit and are always here if you have a question or need a hand.

Re-Sell Assistance

While we hate to see any of our neighbors leave, from time to time the need arises. Our sales office is happy to assist you in that matter. In house listings on our community website ensure the highest exposure and our advertising campaigns are well received.
