I like the sound of kids playing, the neighbors working on their houses, chatting with my neighbors (of all kinds), etc.
Although I do like the idea of not having to do my own housework or prepare my own meals; that sounds like heaven but it's not enough to get me into a senior housing development.
I never even thought about the gossip (no privacy) part; that would send me around the bend pretty quickly.
Wow! This community is more active than you can imagine! The retired people retire here to enjoy life, not wait to die! Come spend a week with me and try to keep up with them!
