WHITE CHRISTMAS IN DECEMBER IS
LOCAL SO THERE'S SO MUCH TO DO
IN WESTFIELD SHOPS AND
BOUTIQUES AND RESTAURANTS AND
OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, WE'RE SO
CLOSE TO THE CITY WE ARE
EXACTLY IN AND AROUND INDY.
>> I THINK SOMETIMES WE DON'T
REALIZE JUST HOW MANY GEMS SO
ARE HERE, HOW MUCH THERE IS TO
SEE.
AND DO I KNOW, RANDI, YOU JOKE
A LOT OF TIMES THAT I'VE BEEN
HERE FOR HOW MANY YEARS AND I
STILL HAVEN'T BEEN TO THIS
PLACE BUT I WOULD IMAGINE YOU
HEAR AND SEE THAT FROM
RESIDENTS TO ABSOLUTELY AND WE
HAVE A LOT OF RESIDENTS COMING
IN FROM OTHER PARTS OF THE
COUNTRY REALLY PEOPLE REALLY
LOVE TO COME HERE TO BE NEAR
FAMILY GRANDCHILDREN.
WE ACTUALLY HAVE A
GRANDCHILDREN EVENT COMING UP
SATURDAY.
WE HAVE A HALLOWEEN PARTY SO
I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT
AND YOU KNOW, IT'S ONE OF OUR
MODEL HOMES.
YES, LOOK AT THAT AND THE
NEIGHBORHOOD REALLY THE WAY WE
DESIGNED IT, IT'S VERY
REMINISCENT OF INDIANA LAKE
LIFE.

GOOSENECK RELAXING FIELD.
YES, IT IS AND REALLY A
CELEBRATE VERSION OF, YOU KNOW,
EVERYTHING THAT INDIANA HAS TO
OFFER THE BEAUTIFUL FOUR
SEASONS.
YOU KNOW, WE HAVE BEAUTIFUL
FALL AND SPRING SUMMER WINTER
AND YOU KNOW, JUST MAKING
PEOPLE FEEL WELCOME AND IT'S A
GREAT WAY TO BUILD FRIENDSHIPS
ESPECIALLY WITH PEOPLE COMING
IN FROM OTHER STATES.
>> I JUST THINK THIS IS SO
AMAZING BECAUSE I KNOW SOME
PEOPLE WHO ARE FRIENDS OR
FAMILY OF THIS AGE AND THEY
ALWAYS THINK ABOUT PERHAPS THAT
NEXT STEP.
BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT SOMETHING
LIKE THIS, I THINK SOMETIMES IN
THEIR MIND THEY ALWAYS FEEL
LIKE THEY'RE GOING BACKWARDS.
THIS IS NOT COMING.
>> NO, NOT AT ALL.
IT IS A TRULY VIBRANT
COMMUNITY.
>> WE HAVE EXERCISE.
YES, ABSOLUTELY.
YOU HAVE A FITNESS AREA.
THERE'S LOTS OF AREAS WITHIN
THE RETREAT TO GATHER THE BIG
GATHERING ROOM EXERCISE ROOM.

WE HAVE A CRAFTS ROOM WHERE
WE'VE DONE PAINTING AND POTTERY
AND CALLIGRAPHY CLASSES.
>> WE DO SEMINARS SO WE REALLY
TRY TO MIX IT UP AND APPEAL TO
A WIDE RANGE OF OF PEOPLE.
IS THIS REALLY TO SAY THOUGH
TALK ABOUT KEEPING YOURSELF
YOUNG AND VIBRANT?
YES.
AND FEELING ESPECIALLY IF YOU
DON'T HAVE FAMILY IF YOU'VE
LOST YOUR SPOUSE YOU WERE A
LITTLE LITERALLY EMERGING
YOURSELF IN A SENSE OF FAMILY.
YES.
AND COMMUNITY AGAIN WHICH I
THINK THAT'S SOMETHING WE ALL
NEED AND EVERY IS SOMETIMES AS
YOU GET OLDER IT'S DIFFICULT TO
FORM THOSE FRIENDSHIPS SO
THAT'S WHY WE CREATE THESE
ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS.
WE HAVE THREE MILES OF WALKING
TRAILS WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY
HOOK UP TO THE MODERN TRAIL.
>> LIKE I SAID, THE EXERCISE
ROOM PICKLEBALL COURSE WHICH
PICKLEBALL IS SO POPULAR RIGHT
NOW WE HAVE ONE TENNIS COURT
AND THEN SEVERAL PICKLEBALL.
>> SO YOU SAY EVERYTHING'S
INCLUDED.
DOES THAT MEAN LIKE
EVERYTHING'S FURNISHED INSIDE
THE HOUSES TOO OR THEY BRING
CERTAIN STUFF OR HOW DOES NOT
KNOW THEY PURCHASED THEIR OWN
FURNITURE SO THEY HAD WHICH I
THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE THAT
BECAUSE THAT'S OUR OWN SENSE OF
HOME EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE USED
TO RIGHT.
>> AND THEY'VE DOWNSIZED.
SO THAT'S AN ADJUSTMENT IN AND
OF ITSELF TO MOVE OUT OF THE
LARGE HOME.
BUT YOU KNOW, THEN THEY PURGE
THEY BUY THESE BEAUTIFUL NEW
FURNITURE TO GO WITH THEIR NEW
HOME AND THEY'RE ALL RANCHES.
>> THERE ARE SOME OPTIONS TO DO
A LOFT.
>> OK, SO IF YOU NEED A SPACE
FOR HOBBY ROOM OR CRAFT ROOM OR
YOU'RE STILL WORKING FROM HOME,
A LOT OF OUR HOMEOWNERS STILL
WORK OUTSIDE THE AREA.
YEAH, FOR SURE.
PLACE FOR GRANDCHILDREN AND THE
HOMES COME WITH A FLEX ROOM.
SO EVEN IF YOU DON'T PUT THE
BONUS ROOM UP YOU HAVE THAT
EXTRA SPACE FOR AGAIN WORKING
CRAFTS OR A STUDIO.
>> SO A NEW SPACE ADAPTIONS AND
A NEW BEGINNING FOR SURE.
OK, SO THERE'S THE INFORMATION
RIGHT THERE ON THE BOTTOM OF
YOUR SCREEN, THE WEBSITE, THE
PHONE NUMBER.

HERE THIS THANK YOU FOR HAVING

MIGHT BE INVITE ANYONE TO
COME TAKE A LOOK IN OUR MIND.

FANTASTIC IDEA.
