Following is an abbreviated excerpt of the article, "The Short List: 50 Best Master-planned Communities in the United States.”
Colonial Heritage:
The Lure: Retirees in search of active post-career lives flock to Colonial Heritage, about 10 miles north of Jamestown, VA, home of the first permanent English colony in the United States, founded in 1607. From poker and Pilates to mahjong and music groups, a host of organized activities keep everybody engaged. The 18-hole golf course, with its dynamic greens framed by towering trees, accentuates the undulating landscape.
What Residents say: "It's not your parents’ retirement community. This is an active, vibrant, diverse group of people. That makes it an exciting place to live" - Lynne Lochen
Virginia Heritage:
The Lure: The living’s easy at this master-planned community thanks to a minimal homeowners association fee that overs TV service, trash and recycling pickup, snow removal and common area maintenance. Residents encourage each other in a writers' club, while the activities director organizes communitywide events like casino night.
What Residents Say: "We're pickelball fanatics," admits Peggy Lunardini, 67, who relocated here from Pennsylvania. Peggy feels at home among like-minded peers. "It doesn't matter if you were a doctor or taught school or worked as a janitor," she says. "We're all here, and we're all trying for new things."
