Cons: they can be very 'clique-ish' ~ gossipy ~ lots of Republicans ~ think Junior High School

Pros: Many have an activities Director ~ Many have a club house with meeting rooms, swimming pool, ballroom, kitchen, golf course ~ I learned to line dance ~ Organized game nights ~ outside entertainment brought in ~ Artsy-craftsy kinds of activities ~ Other dancing lessons ~ Speakers ~ Movies ~ no one asks you to baby-sit ~ gets you around people

Mind you I live in the East Valley of the Phoenix Metro area ~ lots and lots of Seniors here.
