Here is my annual update on the 50 top master communities from the list by John Burns real estate, a premier real estate consulting company. I take their well-researched listings and extract the 55+ communities from it and present it here. Of course we are only interested in active adult communities, but I have put in a couple that aren't age restricted because I thought they were particularly appropriate for seniors in retirement or pre-retirement.
Please refer to my two previous years lists for comparison as to which ones made it again this year. However, there are many new ones on the 2014 list and more than previous years. The 2015 list should be out in the early part of 2016. Update: See the 2016 List changes, below.)
A big change was that there were no communities from Arizona which had 3 last year. Keep in mind that as communities near sellout they would naturally fall off the list.
2017 Update: (Listing master communities performing in 2016).
There wasn't significant change last year from the previous year so we didn't update last year (2015). Here is the 2016 list:

Hey there! I understand this is somewhat off-topic but I had to ask. Does running a well-established blog such as yours take a large amount of work? I'm completely new to running a blog however I do write in my diary daily. I'd like to start a blog so I can easily share my experience and feelings online. Please let me know if you have any kind of suggestions or tips for brand new aspiring bloggers. Appreciate it!
