In the West, These are the Biggest Competitors to The Villages
Category: Active adult communities
December 8, 2021 —
This is an updated version of Part 1 of a 2 Part series. Part 1 covers competitors in the West, while Part 2 discusses the 12 Largest Communities in the East.
Many people are excited (and sometimes appalled) by The Villages, the giant active community in Central Florida. They often wonder, are there any other age-restricted communities that approach The Villages’ size, which approaches 150,000 residents and sprawls over 3 counties? And, do any other communities offer a similar range of amenities?
Although no community in the west is quite as large as The Villages, there are many that have more than 5,000 residents. This article highlights some of the ultra-large active communities in the West. We invite you to explore over 3500 active communities of all sizes in our State Directories at Topretirements.

All of the communities sound wonderful for a home owner. (which I was for many years)
What if you are single/rent annually, where can you find any communities (preferably warmer climate) with amenities (eg:
walking/bicycle trails/golfing/swimming/ close to shopping/entertainment/etc. and not necessarily 55 and over & reasonable rent. . I do live in a nice community now, but it's a year to year & not knowing if you will be able to stay, since so many snowbirds own the places and now rentals are going sky-high and difficult to find. Not ready yet for the 55 & over only facilities, even though I've been retired for 20 years. Will be looking for a new adventure, next year.
