First gay retirement village coming to Valley

The nation’s first resort-style, gay retirement community plans to open in Surprise in the late summer or early fall of 2009.

Marigold Creek, a retirement community aimed toward gays, lesbians and their friends and family, has already reported keen interest from buyers, said Deborah Purvis of the Missouri-based real estate group, Out Properties.

Purvis said the community will include 210 units, ranging from single-family homes, patio homes and condominiums.

“The community will be set up with village-style streets so people can easily say hello to each other when they are walking around,” Purvis said.  See First gay retirement village coming to Valley East Valley Tribune, AZ
