Park Model Life

Have you ever wished you could be a fly on the wall in your typical retirement community? For years there has been the misconception seniors are doing little more than crocheting and sitting in the shade reminiscing about old times.

If you take the time to actually drive through an average community today, you are going to be in for a huge surprise! The top retirement community activities have a changed a lot from the days of old when retirement was little more than a supposedly boring proposition.

Seniors actually have more money now than they used to. Houses bought on the cheap were sold at the height of the market. The result is a population of seniors who are unencumbered by personal debts and who are ready to put their money to good use for personal enjoyment.

Many opt for two park model homes to live in seasonally – one in a climate that is warm during the summer and the other for one where the winters are considered warm and comfortable.

Traveling is done in compact cars and no longer in expensive gas guzzling recreational vehicles. Instead, mobile home parks have caught on to the sudden influx of fiscally strong individuals in their golden years, and as such they offer a variety of activities that are specifically geared toward the interests of those who are retiring in style.

There are exercise classes, art exhibits, friendly card games, excursions, nature hikes, various sporting events, and of course shopping sprees.
