Readers Respond to Elderly Housing Series

Loved your article on “Having It All.” I want to inform you of a retirement condominium complex for the active adult, the Champagne Village mobile-home village in Escondido.

A few who really have never “understood” mobile-home living have never seen the luxurious mobile homes that afford low maintenance and land ownership. My home and land was originally $164,000 (2,100 square feet) is now at an estimated value of $230,000 in three years.

But the real story is about the resort amenities and the special people who live here, where the No. 1 activity is dancing to Big Band music, No. 2, golf and No. 3, tennis, with 90 members.

Thanks for a great article.
