Living the “downsizer” lifestyle in the DTC has been a great experience. Like many others, my husband and I found ourselves “empty nesters” with a 5 bedroom, 4 bath home on a large lot with a playground in the backyard. The task of downsizing and changing lifestyles scared us for awhile, but when we had the opportunity to sell our home at a great price, we took the leap.
We now live in a “flat” in the tech center and take an elevator to get to our floor. We park underground, never shovel snow, have gardeners that take care of these beautiful grounds and fill our free time with golf, biking and hiking. We are within 5 miles of Park Meadows, can walk to Maggiano’s or Maxwell’s, the beautiful Landmark Theatres are just minutes away and the Inverness Golf Course is our backyard. Oh, and the light-trail comes right to our back door!
Best of all our neighbors are fantastic! We call this kind of living “adult dormitory”. We get together for sporting events, card games, and very interesting nights of karaoke (the things you learn about one another when that machine comes out!) This decision to downsize and explore this lifestyle has been a truly fun decision!
