It offers the classic amenities that people need more as they age:

Leisure World's Visual Appeal

The landscaping is one of the best things about Leisure World, and, of course, the smiles of happy residents. This happy demeanor seems to be catching as everywhere you go people are friendly and reach out to help but not too friendly as they pursue a smorgasbord of activities.

The entrance to this retirement community in Montgomery County is particularly beautiful with a reflecting pool and large fountains surrounded by an artistic arrangement of colors from plant foliage and flowers. The large world globe, Leisure World's symbol, adds to the dramatic appearance of the entrance. The landscaping is one of the best things about Leisure World - very uplifting.

Age can be difficult at times but this classic design and plan seems to have come from some master builder who really did get it!

This is just a small part of the beautifully landscaped, scenic entrance to Leisure World:
