Featured Article: As if State College hadn't enough bad news lately, The Village at Penn State filed for bankruptcy last week. This well known CCRC leases land from Penn State. Although initial indications are that the event will result in a smooth landing for TVPS residents, it highlights the bewildering array of bad things that can happen when an active adult community goes bankrupt. This article outlines what can go wrong, and what you might do about it.
We invite you to explore more communities - there are over 1500 in this directory: If you are an active community, it must be tempting to put "Leisure" in your name. In fact we have 10 Leisure Villages and Leisure Worlds reviewed at Topretirements. Leisure Village West isn't all that west, it's in New Jersey. But it has been around a long time and boasts extensive facilities. It is popular with people from the New York metropolitan area. On Top of the World - Ocala, Florida
