You can't depend on your children or grandchildren for entertainment. You have to live your own life. In fact, there is a pattern to how people settle at the parks. There are about 150 who stay here year round. Each year that number grows.
People get tired of traveling and want to settle in.
In other words, about 25 percent of the park residents are year round residents. And about 75 percent of the residents take annual leases on their spaces. That's not high, or low, for the parks near Phoenix, in Mesa, or in Apache Junction. Both are small items. Most of the average Social Security check.
