From Sun Cities to the Villages: A History of Active Adult, Age-Restricted Communities
Judith Ann Trolander
Youngtown, Arizona, opened in 1954 and was the first development community to have a minimum age requirement (then 65) and to ban underage children as permanent residents. In the ensuing decades, active adult communities have proliferated. This is the first book-length history of the "active adult" lifestyle. Examining the origins, development, failures, and challenges facing these communities as the baby boomer population continues to age, she offers a truly original defense of a sometimes controversial aspect of American life.
