We retired to our lake home after Katrina hit our home town, and the most amazing aspect of living here has been the various talents of the other people who choose to retire at the Lake.  First, retired people accept you for who you are, no quizzes about what you did, how much money you have, or who you know.  It simply doesn't matter and it is very refreshing.  Once you get to know folks, it is amazing what the background and talents of Lake retirees really is. 

We live in an area that is about half full time, and half weekenders, and I wouldn't want it any other way.  Lots of friends in the neighborhood, but we are not crowded on top of each other.  There are many homes built on ex-Alabama Power lease lots that have about 300'-350' waterfrontage which keeps spacing between homes just right.  Regardless of you desired home price range you can find what you want here.  Come on.

We live on Sandy Creek and Auburn shopping is 35 minutes away, Montgomery is 45 minutes, B'ham is 1 and 1/2 hrs, and if you really have to go, Atlanta is about 2 hrs.  If you can't find what you need in one of those places, you probably don't need it.
