A larger "family" of friends

The beautiful view, the wild land just outside my door, and the delightful climate would be attractions enough, but in fact it is the sense of community that is most important to me. As a single person, I feel connected to a larger "family" of friends here -- people I enjoy being with and with whom I have much in common. People are incredibly supportive to one another here. Life is never boring, as there is so much going on. The residents themselves continually generate new activities in addition to the programs of the Village and the Academy. And the city of Tucson has a lot to offer.
