50 Years of Improvement

With the changing times comes difficulties, but improvements as well.  Del Webb has greatly improved the construction of their active lifestyle communities since they opened their first community in 1960.  Their updated communities come with a shift in retirement views.  Faced with the common misconception of their communities thought to have been constructed for elderly individuals who have worked for many years and are ready to settle down, Del Webb is striving to educate people otherwise.  Their communities are active lifestyle communities, not retirement communities.  Many Del Webb homeowners still work or pursue other passions that have been placed on hold for many years.  With a large number of baby boomers entering retirement age, the number of active lifestyle communities in the United States will only increase.

Del Webb Community Holds Pickleball Tournament

There are many benefits of physical activities. It is said that those who live active, healthy lives are the ones who live longer lives. Del Webb Orlando is relaying the spirit of the national active lifestyle community by holding their first annual Pickleball tournament later next month on November 17. Played with a racket, the 47 year old sport is part Tennis, part badminton, and part ping pong. Since the game only uses a portion of the tennis court, it is not a physically exerting sport and can be played by a wide variety of people.
