If you planned to avoid socializing with your neighbor or others in the resort, you might have picked the wrong upscale resort. It sometimes takes up to 20 minutes to walk the garbage 10 ft to the curbside for its daily pick-up, as the neighbor offers a friendly wave and conversation or a walker stops to introduce themselves, as no doubt you have something in common. “I see Washington State plates too. How do you like your Newmar, Canada Eh, whereabouts in Oregon?” or something like that usually gets the conversation flowing.

With everyone always enjoying the fresh outdoors, a walk around the 419-lot resort should only take 30 minutes but spills into an hour or more as more conversation breaks out. If you stay a month, whether on the golf course, on the courts, or attending many other events, you will leave here with up to 50 newfound friends.

Ownership here ranges from couples in their early 50s who have become empty nesters to active retirees escaping the cold northern weather. As people arrive in late October or later, the pickleball, the tennis, the golf communities, as the onsite Activities Coordinator, already has something organized that you might do. Then there are the scheduled card games, Monday Night Football, and many happy hours; you will be busy. Check our monthly calendar of events and learn more.
