Welcome to our occasional weekend newsletter, which focuses on interesting active adult and 55+ communities and the issues surrounding them. We are very excited about this week's sample spreadsheet, which makes it easy to rate and compare the active communities you are considering. It can also be used to rate towns. The image above highlights the view from Talking Rock, a Showcase community in Prescott, AZ.
Featured Article: Once you have visited or done research on a lot of communities or towns they often start running together. Or worse, you might get dazzled by one feature and forget to consider another rating factor that is quite important to you. That's why we think you will like this article, which comes with Jay Michaels' easily customizable rating spreadsheet. It makes the rating process a lot more scientific. Let us know what you think.
