When Delbert E. Webb opened the original Sun City community in 1960, he said, “Concrete, steel and lumber make the buildings, but people make the community.” Fifty-one years later, the communities have changed, but the Del Webb vision remains the same: to help our residents continually redefine retirement by constantly growing and evolving our communities.

According to recent data compiled by Del Webb, approximately 50% of the over-age 55 or Baby Boomer crowd plan to move after retirement. It is a time-honored tradition among Del Webb residents to try out a future community, meet the neighbors, get a feel for the rhythm of life there, and enjoy the life here the same way residents do for a few days.

Visiting the Del Webb Vacation Getaway allows potential homebuyers to try out the community’s social life, recreation and fitness activities, clubs and interests groups; plus, of course, they can tour the homes.

During a visit to Del Webb Britton Falls, guests can enjoy an all-access pass to explore the community amenities. Headquarters for an active life at Britton Falls starts at The Chateau, a 23,000-square-foot community and recreation center. Meet neighbors at the indoor pool, the state-of-the-art fitness complex, in the library, and in arts and crafts. There’s an outdoor pool, tennis courts, bocce ball courts, walking paths, and great golf in the area. The community also offers 100 acres of open space, including 17 surrounding ponds.

Visitors can also explore community events or social clubs. Just a few of the clubs here include everything from a bike group to bocce, singles group to choir, even ironman training and ballroom dancing. In fact, Britton Falls has more than 50 clubs available. However it unfolds, your visit here will allow you to get to know the community and discover all that you have in common with the friendly people who call Britton Falls home.

Guided tours of the community give would-be homebuyers the chance to talk to people who aren’t there to sell, but to share experiences. Called Resident Ambassadors, these folks are familiar with day-to-day life at the community. They can answer questions, and help newcomers get acclimated to their surroundings. They share an enthusiasm for life that’s absolutely contagious.

Located just outside of Indianapolis in the town of Fishers, Britton Falls provides the best of both worlds: An exciting community full of challenge and discovery, while still allowing residents to live close to their family and friends. Grandchildren can play at the on-site indoor/outdoor pool, swim together during children’s hours, or attend special holiday events like trick-or-treating or egg hunts. And when there’s a special event like a graduation or wedding, homeowners here are close enough to not miss out on those big moments.

The Explore Del Webb program at Britton Falls can vary by length of stay, and during the month of December, when you stay two nights, the third night is free. Accommodations for the stay in the Britton Falls home are facilitated through a local hotel and rates are $99 per night. At least one person must be 50 years of age.
