Residents Under 55 Enjoy Soleil Laurel Canyon Too
Posted by: | CommentsJesse and Sue Irwin were in their early 50s when they moved to Soleil Laurel Canyon, a 330-acre resort-style community in Canton that is designed for homeowners ages 55 and older.
“We were living in a big house on three acres in Woodstock when our youngest child grew up and left home,” Sue Irwin said. “We wanted something smaller but we didn’t want to move again when we retire. It may have been a little early to downsize but there was no reason to stay in our other house.”
Joe and Lois Rebele were still in their 40s four years ago when they became empty nesters and moved to Soleil.
“Our children were grown and it was just the two of us in a large house. We were looking for a one-story home with neighborhood amenities and a maintenance-free environment. Soleil offers the lifestyle we were looking for,” Joe and Rebele said. Read More→
