We are excited to be recognized as one of America's 100 Best Places to Live in 2021!
Below is an excerpt from the summer issue of ideal-LIVING magazine
With tens of thousands of master-planned communities in America, you might ask how do you come up with a list of America’s 100 Best Places to Live? The answer is there is no one definitive list, but we’ve researched communities from our readers’ most-desired areas based on survey results. Each year we survey our readers to determine the most popular destinations and amenities. The destinations featured in this special issue are representative of those desires. The past year has been like no other. No one could have predicted a worldwide pandemic, and certainly, no one could have predicted that the pandemic would create unprecedented growth in the real estate industry. Though inventory levels are at an all-time low, this is still a great time to decide where and how you want to live. And, the good news is there has never been a better time to sell your home. With millennials flush with cash entering the housing market, low interest rates, and now the ability to work from anywhere, the real estate market doesn’t seem to be slowing down in the near future. Builders and developers are rapidly adding more infrastructure and building more houses to accommodate the increased demand. At Ideal-LIVING, we’ve been very busy this past year. We are relaunching our popular Ideal-LIVING.com website with new search features that will enable you to find your ideal place more easily. And, we’re all set to once again host our live events, the Ideal-LIVING Resort and Retirement Real Estate Show this September in New Jersey (September 11 &12) and Northern Virginia (September 18 & 19). We’ll see you there. It is our hope that you will read about the lives of people who have relocated and will get out and visit these amazing cities and master-planned developments to find your ideal life.

Flowers Plantation
For more than 200 years, tobacco, along with other crops, have been grown on Flowers Plantation land. This year is bittersweet. As development continues, this will probably be the last year that any crop is harvested within the community.
