| Sunbelt Dominates List
Madison, CT -- August 20, 2009 -- Florida, with 7 active adult communities, is the most popular state for retirement on the 2009 list at Topretirements.com. Most surprising was the pasting the Sunbelt gave the rest of the U.S. – only 1 of the best 25 active adult communities was from outside the Sunbelt (The Village at Penn State in State College).
The most popular 55+ community in the country is Green Valley, a vast community near the Mexican border in Arizona. The Villages, home to 80,000 active retirees near Ocala, was the #2 active adult community on Topretirements' 2009 list.
John Brady, President of "Topretirements - Find Your Best Retirement Community", commented about the winning communities: "Most of the communities making up the list are either very large communities, or are from towns that are recognized as best places to retire. A few of the communities really surprised us”.
