Your Ideal Life Awaits What are you waiting for?

Tired of high taxes, high cost of living, and congestion? Are you tired of shoveling snow?

At some point during our lives, most of us realize that we can live the life we want precisely where we want to live. While this moment often comes in or near retirement, an increasing number of people are coming to this realization much sooner. They are searching for a better quality of life, lower taxes and cost of living, milder weather, and a healthy and safe environment.

Find Your Ideal... Destination, Life, and Home

Is this your moment? Are you ready to find your ideal life?

This winter, the perfect place to find your ideal life is at an ideal-LIVING Real Estate Show. The ideal-LIVING Show features a large display of some of the best places to live from the Carolinas, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia, and more in one place. The Show is a fun, convenient way to start exploring the top master-planned communities that offer some of the most sought-after amenities, such as walking trails, golf, pickleball and tennis, social clubs, marinas, fitness centers, pools, and fine dining.

Whether you’re looking to relocate to a more desirable destination, retired and ready to live your ideal life, or searching for the perfect vacation home, the Show will help guide you through the discovery process. With community representatives and homebuilders available to answer all your questions and expert-led seminars designed to help you cover all your bases, you’ll leave the Show with the confidence you need to choose your ideal destination.

Since 1989, ideal-LIVING has helped hundreds of thousands of people relocate to their ideal destination, life, and home. Debbie Lane, who relocated to Brunswick Forest outside of Wilmington, NC, with her husband, John, had lived in Herndon, VA, for 22 years, where John commuted to downtown Washington, D.C., every day. Tired of the traffic, they wanted something different for retirement. “After all those years of working, this is what life is all about. We feel like we are on vacation all the time,” says Debbie.

“We attended two trade shows [ideal-LIVING Real Estate Shows] held in Tysons Corner, VA, and met with representatives from Georgia to Tennessee. We also talked to the various builders that were there, and it really got us thinking about retirement. The information was very helpful. Ideal-LIVING gave us the opportunity to narrow our choices.”

Louis and Valerie Zarro were the third generation to live in their three-story home near Mahwah, NJ, but they knew that it was time to break tradition. Both were anxious to escape cold winters and to find a community where they could feel connected. “If we didn’t go to the ideal-LIVING Show, we might still be in New Jersey!” said Valerie. “When we went to the Show, we didn’t know where we wanted to go, so we took brochures from every property.”

The Zarros then searched by state and made a list of what they were looking for. They used the “Show Only” Getaway offers they received at the Show that became the answer for them. The Zarros traveled to nearly a dozen communities and finally found their home and com-
