Lake Weir Living is America’s Toy-Friendly Community® for active adults in the heart of Florida. It’s an exciting alternative to the typical cookie-cutter golf retirement community. Millions of boomers seek something other than the average HOA (homeowner association), over-regulated development that has oversaturated their retirement market. Only an estimated 9 million boomers play golf today, but nearly 30 million rather RV, fish, cruise a hot-rod, or a ride Harley on the open road.
Our community is for the adventurous boomer who is rethinking how and where to retire. It’s a lifestyle choice that’s leading the way we design our active adult community. Lake Weir Living is the future of active adult and retirement communities with new custom homes on large lots at base prices from the $90s to the $160s.
Lake Weir Living is the best of both worlds: a Florida custom home in a pristine, spacious country backdrop, that’s only 8 miles from The Villages® with amazing shopping, dining, entertainment, health & wellness facilities, medical services and yes, great golf courses! Have it all, just 55 miles from Orlando in central Florida.
Why we’ve created an alternative to the typical 55+ golf retirement community:
Active Adults are living healthier, longer, and more passionately today, than yesteryear’s retirees. The Bob Dylan, Rolling Stones, Janis Joplin, and Jimi Hendrix Generation are NOT a cookie-cutter group. Most are not golfers, and golf communities are NOT for them. (Typical monthly HOA fees can be expensive, thus deplete savings. HOAs can also be incredibly oppressive with restrictions, including those involving toys.)
Approximately only 10% of today's boomers are golfers: Lake Weir Living meets the needs of 30 million boomer big ‘toy’ and outdoor enthusiasts.
Boomer toy-owners are fed up with cookie-cutter communities that turn their nose-up, and give a thumbs-down to big 'toys' (i.e. RVs, boats, motorcycles & classic cars).
Typical 55+ communities usually have strict floor plans; often a buyer is told, "Take it, or leave it". We say, “Bring us your dream plan, or modify ours!”
Lake Weir Living Homeowners customize and individualize their homes: from mancaves to a private living space for an aging parent; or a 5-car garage to an enclosed RV garage, or a hobby shop with a climate controlled studio loft. “Customization is only limited by a buyer’s imagination.” – Lake Weir Living
“We love it at Lake Weir Living! We don’t have HOA fees. We built the home we wanted at a great price. Central Florida is perfect! And either coast, or Orlando, are within 55 miles. We have all the shopping, restaurants, entertainment, and medical in The Villages only 8 miles away! What more could we ask for? Oh yeah, and we don’t have any more snow!”
