'1001 Active Lifestyle Communities': New book helps readers identify Active Adult Communities

HENDERSON, Nev., Nov. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Lisa LaCount presents a new directory to aid readers who are interested in finding a home within an age-restricted or active lifestyle community in her new book, "1001 Active Lifestyle Communities.

In 2001, the baby boomer generation began to turn 55, the official age that seniors are welcomed into most age-restricted communities. As a result, home builders have responded to this large market by "building for boomers," says LaCount. "According to the Associated Press, the latest trend by home builders is to design comfortable homes where the active boomer generation will be satisfied to reside now, and for the rest of their lives," she says.

This market segment is relatively new, and previously there was no single resource for people to find information about these communities. To answer this demand, LaCount founded the online National Directory of Active Adult Communities.

However, the author felt that something was needed in  addition to the Web site. "Even though the percentage of boomers becoming Web savvy has increased radically since its inception, there still remain those who want to physically hold a book, turn the pages and make notes," she says. "And that's where '1001 Active Lifestyle Communities' will be your friendly tool!"

In her book, LaCount provides the tools necessary to thoroughly research more than 1,000 active lifestyle communities in 45 states. She includes detailed information on each community to help readers make educated decisions based on area, price range, type of home and amenities, as well as providing contact information for taking the next step.

"[I am] providing you, the researcher, with all the tools necessary to find your dream destination -- perhaps for the rest of your life!" says LaCount.

LaCount is a native of England and currently resides in Henderson, Nev. Her career in the corporate world has spanned four countries and two continents. She is now a stay-at-home mom and home-schools her 9-year-old twin sons while running the National Directory of New and Resale Active Adult Communities.
