Four seasons, abundant natural resources, some of the world’s

even if it is not a traditional retirement destination? Del Webb
and its homebuyers think the Midwest has plenty to offer active
adults over the age of 55. The lifestyle, affordability and quality
of healthcare are all great reasons why pre-retirees and retirees
are looking to stay closer to home year-round—not to mention
proximity to family, friends, and most importantly,
grandchildren.

In a recent survey by Del Webb of adults ages 47-77 who
currently live in the Midwest and are considering a move in the
future, 62% plan to stay in the same general area for their next
home purchase. This group also cites the importance of staying
connected with current friends and the enjoyment of being with
family members as significant considerations in their attitude
towards retirement.
“For more than six decades, Del Webb has been a pioneer in the
active adult community space because of its focus on consumer
feedback, continuously adapting to meet the needs of how today’s
consumers want to live and experience their homes and communities,”
said Matt Koart, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating
Officer of PulteGroup, parent company of Del Webb. “There is a
growing desire among Northerners and Midwesterners for the vibrant
lifestyle and variety of amenities offered at a Del Webb community,
without having to move away from family members and the familiarity
of home.”
Across the Midwest area, Del Webb offers five communities in the
greater Chicago, Detroit, Indianapolis and Minneapolis markets.
These communities are centered around building connections,
designed for those ages 55 and older who want to continue to
explore, grow and learn, socially, physically, and intellectually
as they look forward to retirement. Each Del Webb community
provides a world-class experience for residents, with resort-style
indoor and outdoor amenities to enjoy, and the opportunity to
personalize a new home that is uniquely theirs.
This summer, Kensington Ridge by Del Webb grand opened in
southeast Michigan. This highly anticipated community will be
comprised of 611 single-family homes, each designed with livability
and flexibility in mind to enhance convenience and comfort. The
heart of this community will be its 16,800 sq. ft. clubhouse, set
on a 43-acre lake with several amenities, including a beach area,
dock for fishing, kayaking and paddleboarding, an indoor pool, a
fitness center, pickleball courts, walking paths, a community
garden, event lawn, and gazebos to enjoy the surrounding views. It
is also adjacent to Kensington Metropark, a 4,481-acre recreational
facility with a year-round variety of outdoor activities for all
ages.
Unveiling its first new Chicago-area community in more than 15
years, Lincoln Prairie by Del Webb opened last November. This
community introduced new low-maintenance ranch home designs from
Del Webb’s GenYou™ collection, tailored to buyer-specific interests
like cooking, entertaining or taking up new hobbies, in Aurora,
Illinois’ second largest city. The community will celebrate the
grand opening of its new amenity center this fall. This 17,600 sq.
ft. clubhouse includes a fitness center, indoor swimming pool,
billiards and aerobics rooms, bocce and pickleball courts.
All Del Webb active adult communities are full of energy and
friendly people who share common interests in this next stage of
life. From pickleball and wine tasting, to fitness classes and
life-long learning adventures, each day is an opportunity to fill
with activities, friends, volunteering, and trying new things.
Whether someone is still working in so-called retirement, or has
grandkids they cannot bear to leave behind, there is a Del Webb
community for them.
