Multiple Zipcodes, Same Beloved Neighbors: Snowbirds Prefer to Buy Vacation Homes Next Door to Their Friends, Maintaining a Sense of Community
Indio, CA (PRWEB) November 27, 2013 -- More than just a warm climate to winter in, retirees are looking for a place to continue building a life; a life filled with activities, conveniences and comforts. According to the January journal of Tourism Management Perspectives, seventy-eight percent of snowbirds assert ‘social opportunities’ as a deciding factor in where to winter, and sixty-three percent cite ‘outdoor activities.’ Sweetening the pot for long-stay vacationers is the ability to purchase second homes alongside their friends and family, keeping them as year-round neighbors in multiple zip-codes; a unique opportunity found at luxury RV resort, Motorcoach Country Club.
Hailing from Alberta, Canada, Mark and Wendy Pearson are second generation snowbirds with their parents having flown south for the winter more than 25 years ago to Arizona. Upon their own coming of retirement age, the Pearson’s found themselves wanting more than just sun. “Our main common denominator was that community is essential,” says Mark, and continues, “We had about a half-dozen couples who were interested in buying close together.”
While visiting with friends in Southern California, Mark and Wendy were recommended to Motorcoach Country Club for its luxurious and customizable amenities as a private 5-star resort located in heart of world-renowned travel destination, the greater Palm Springs area. “They were right,” says Wendy, “we were owners within a month, and, two other couples have joined us as well.” From the 18-hole private golf course, tennis courts, bocce ball, and gym, the Pearson’s say there is always something to do with friends, however, the couple eagerly discloses, “Probably one of the most underestimated asset is the private and on-site restaurant. The convenience for a quality meal or just a really cool one with friends is immeasurable. The companionship you encounter everywhere on the property is something you won’t find in many places and it didn’t take long for us to realize Motorcoach Country Club is all about community.”
