Not everyone wants to leave the Bay Area when they retire. In fact there are quite a few that want to stay close to family but are
looking for a community that will let them enjoy the next stage of their lives a little bit easier.
One of the great retirement communities of our area exist not far away from the hustle and bustle of San Jose. Many have heard of
The Villages Golf and Country Club but if you haven't been there you will be very surprised on how much it has to offer.
Established in the late 1960s, The Villages neighborhood boasts over 1200 acres and includes championship golf courses, swimming pools,
tennis courts, lakes, spas, walking paths, and views of the mountains and valleys galore.
This is a private, gated, active adult community where one resident must be 55 or over to reside. It was voted one of the Top 20 places
to retire by New Choices for Retirement Living Magazine.
There are over 2000 town homes and condominium units and over 200 single-family homes. There are over 50 different clubs to join from
Bridge to Jazzercise. There are two banquet halls, a library, a restaurant, and stables for horse back riding. The community organizes
trips and events and even has a special storage area for RV owners on the property.
Most importantly, it is a great community for active adults to make a comfortable next home. For those who want to stay in the Bay
Area, enjoy a great round of golf, and the company of friends and family, The Villages Golf and Country Club has a great deal to offer.
