Looking at retirement homes in the Southwestern US can be a big task. An increasing number of baby boomers, estimated at more than 1.2 million households, plan to move to active-lifestyle communities. Many of these retirement communities are located in the Southwest. These communities tend to have activities designed to meet the wants and needs of their communities who are largely 55+. According to the MetLife Mature Market Institute Baby Boomers will represent one-quarter of the population of the US by 2010. This group of baby boomers is being watched closely as they may dictate housing trends in the next few years.
Retirement communities or active-adult communities have the highest level of satisfaction according to the survey. Family tends to play a large role in many baby boomers’ decision to move.

Dear Brandon,
I am totally amazed at the amount of information in the newsletter and the links by the Mesquite Group. I will look forward to additional information as it is submitted.
We love our Home in Mesa Hills. We’ve been there almost 2 1/2 years now. As you probably know, I have an interest in Mesquite real estate from an investment standpoint and I had no idea your company provided an ongoing review of the activity.
Congratulations on your new little son. Lowell and I appreciate the friendship we have with you and your help in the past.
Thank you!
