Boomers and Beyond at the Beach...in Delaware. by Active Adults Realty

Only one active adult community in Delaware made the Short List of “Best Master-Planned Communities in the United States” – Heritage Shores in Bridgeville. The Short List focuses on 50 communities that they describe as “amenity-rich, with clubhouses, recreation and activities to keep residents fully engaged.”

The author, Van Sheridan, gives the following advice – While researching communities to live out your retirement dream, consider following the example of Hank Morris, 80, who retired to Heritage Shores in Delaware not on “promises of things to come, but on amenities already in place at the community.” I heartily agree with that advice. Betting on the come gets more difficult the older we become. When making a decision about how and where you want to live for the rest of your life, there is no room for uncertainty.

Where to Retire Magazine published The Short List in the July/August 2011 Issue.

It’s always nice to hear from a new homeowner. When you’re in the search and think you’ve found the right new home in the right community, it’s very exciting. Then you go through all the paperwork and the packing and the moving and one day you live there. Is it what you hoped? Are the neighbors friendly?

Let’s ask Linda how she feels after living at Heritage Shores for about 2 months. “Linda, tell me about what happens at Heritage Shores,” I asked. Linda and her husband Jack moved here from Suburban Maryland and they’ve been booked solid since then.

The Heritage Shore Clubs are numerous: Red Hats, Photography, Whip Stitchers, Card Club, Genealogy, Walking Club, Both Men’s & Ladies’ Lunch Clubs, Dine Out, Book Club, Computer, Pool Sharks, Quilting & Sewing, Anglers, Civil War Roundtable, Tennis, &  Military Groups.  These groups meet weekly, biweekly or monthly.

Then there are all the special activities that meet every week:  Water Aerobics, Land Exercise Class, Zumba Fitness & Zumba Gold (low impact version), Pilates, Beginner and advanced Tai Chi.

And, don’t forget the Community events:  The Lifestyle Committee is holding a Food Basket Drive from July 4-July 8.  All collections will benefit the Bridgeville area. Widgeon Way already held their block party and Canvasback Circle had one on Sunday, June 5th.

Linda and Jack are avid “hand dancers” and hope to start a chapter right in the community. We look forward to more news of their progress.
